create solid media like Middlebrook 7H11j. The advantage of solid media over liq­uid media is that they allow observation of colony morphology, growth rates, pres­ence of mixed infection, and serve as a backup when liquid media cultures are contaminated. Cultures in liquid media have a higher yield of mycobacteria and produce results more quickly [9, 14].
S. Tomar and A. K. Maurya
11.7.4 Automated Culture Methods
In order to prevent contamination, it uses liquid media like Middlebrook 7H9 sup­plemented with enrichment such as Oleic acid, Albumin, Dextrose and Catalase (OADC) enrichment, which is a mixture of bovine albumin, dextrose, oleic acid, and catalase, and PANTA antibiotic (polymixin B, amhotericin B, nalidixic Acid, trimethoprim, and azlocillin), which prevents the growth of contaminants.
Principle: Different devices use different principles to detect growth.
11.7.4.1 Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube TB System (MGIT)
Oxygen-quenched uorochrome is embedded in silicone at the bottom of the Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube. The free oxygen in the tube is used up by the bacteria as they develop and is exchanged for carbon dioxide. As the free oxygen content decreases, uorochrome is no longer inhibited, which causes uorescence inside the MGIT tube when seen under UV light. MGIT tubes are placed into an MGIT 960 instrument or incubated at 37°C for an hour before being manually read under a UV lamp or checked for growing uorescence. Most NTM (fast growers) produce growth that leaves the medium with light turbidity or a small granular/aky appearance [15].
11.7.4.2 BacT/ALERT TB System
The BacT/ALERT System and culture bottles offer a microbial detection system as well as a culture medium containing organisms that may be present in the sample utilizing the colorimetric detection of pH change in the medium that occurs as a result of CO2 generated by the growth of bacteria. Bottles that have been inoculated are put into the device, where they are incubated and continuously checked for the presence of bacteria that will thrive in the BacT/ALERT BPA bottles. Carbon diox­ide will be created as the organism breaks down the substrates in the growth medium if microorganisms are found in the test sample. When microorganisms thrive and release carbon dioxide, the bottom of each culture bottle turns yellow. A 40 mL media reservoir and an inbuilt sensor that picks up carbon dioxide, a sign of micro­bial development, are both included in BacT/ALERT BPA bottles. The media con­tains puried water, sodium polyanethol sulfonate (SPS), pyridoxine HCl, papaic

digest of soybean meal, pancreatic digest of casein, and other complicated amino acids and carbohydrate substrates [16].
11.7.4.3 ExtracellularPolysaccharide (ESP) Culture TB System
It notices a change in medium pressure brought on by bacteria’s generation of car­bon dioxide. Before usage, 1mL of each antibiotic dilution and 1mL of growth supplement are added to ESP myco bottles. In place of the antibiotic solution in the control bottle, 1cc of sterile distilled water was introduced. Each drug-containing bottle and control bottle received 0.5mL of a 1:10 diluted 1McFarland solution as an inoculation. The ESP device is then lled with bottles. If an organism produces a signal from the drug-containing bottle within 3days after the control, it is deemed resistant; if it does not produce a signal within 3days, it is deemed susceptible [17].
11.7.4.4 BACTEC 460TB System
It was predicated on using radioisotopes to measure bacterial growth, but it is no longer in use. The Middlebrook 7 H12 broth with carbon 14 labeled palmitic acid, 4mL, is the medium used in the BACTEC 460Tb system. The antibiotic mixture including the PANTA solution was inoculated along with the clinical sample. The BACTEC 460 equipment reads BACTEC bottles once every week for up to 6weeks.

11.8 Radiological Diagnosis ofNTM Infection
There are no radiographic pattern that shows characteristic features to a combina­tion that differentiates NTM from mycobacteria but they are commonly encoun­tered in pulmonary as well as extra-pulmonary NTM diseases. These are as follows:
11.8.1 Pulmonary NTM Radiological Findings
(a) Fibro-cavitary NTM pulmonary disease.
It is primarily distinguished by the top lobe, which has cavities with thin or thick walls and thick pleura around them. Middle-aged people with structural lung diseases like COPD frequently have bro-cavitary disease [1, 18].
(b) Nodular bronchiectasis NTM pulmonary disease.
It occurs in elderly women and is linked to pectus excavatum, scoliosis, and mitral valve prolapse. Cylindrical bronchiectasis with branching centrilobular nodules can be seen on High-Resolution Computed Tomography (HRTC). The
166

lingual and right middle lobes are also affected, and the changes are typically bilateral [1, 19].
(c) Hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
HRCT consistently shows acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis: commonly in the upper lobe, bilateral glass opacity, and centrilobular nodularity [1].
S. Tomar and A. K. Maurya
11.8.2 Extra-Pulmonary NTM Infection Radiological Findings
(a) Inammation of the skin and delicate tissues—diagnosis for inammation of
the skin and delicate tissues is not required but in deeper tissues, tests like sonography, CT, and MRI are helpful in the diagnosis of such infections.
(b) NTM Lymphadenitis—includes ultrasound, CT, and MRIs. Common features
are periostitis, osteolysis, and cystic necrosis [1, 18].
11.9 Molecular Methods forNTM
The notion of nucleic acid amplication underlies multiplex-PCR (polymerase chain reaction), whole genome sequencing (WGS), DNA microarray, line probe assay (LPA), PCR-RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism), and nucleic acid probes. These techniques enable more accurate identication in a short amount of time.
11.9.1 Line Probe Assay forNTM
Reverse hybridization is based on nucleic acid amplication and uses genetic probes. The GenoType® M. common mycobacteria/additional species (CM/AS) assay (Hain Lifescience, Nehren, Germany) is used in the LPA, a DNA strip-based test. The kit is utilized for NTM identication and species discrimination from cul­ture. The 23S ribosomal RNA region is amplied using the LPA process, which is then reverse hybridized on strips of nitrocellulose membrane. There are two kits: the CM recognizes 15 mycobacterium species, including the M.TB complex, and the AS indicates 16 additional, less prevalent non-tuberculous mycobacterium species. A quick and accurate test for identifying non-tuberculous mycobacterium species is the GenoType® M.CM/AS assay [2, 4].

11.9.2 PCR-RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism)
The examination of restricted gene fragment band patterns, which are unique to several non-tuberculous mycobacterium species, is carried out. The method pro­vides a quick and low-cost assay for locating non-mycobacterial species. The 16S ribosomal DNA (16SrRNA), heat shock protein 65 (hsp65 or hsp60), dnaJ, groES, 16S-23SrRNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS), and DNA-directed RNA poly­merase beta chain (rpoB) genes have all been subjected to this method. A specic portion of the mycobacterium hsp65 gene is replicated and cut with restriction enzymes in the hsp65 PCR-RFLP method. The species detection algorithm then compares the obtained band patterns to the reference species [20].
11.9.3 Nucleic Acid Probes Detection
Ester-labeled genes can be processed directly on clinical samples and bind to DNA probes that are complementary to the 16S rRNA gene. MAC, M. kansasii, and M. gordonae-specic acridium ester-labeled DNA probes are presently employed in many laboratories for the identication of NTM.Within 2h, a species can be identi­ed using a technique based on the release of 16S rRNA from an organism isolated from solid or liquid culture media. Only a few NTM species have probes available, and it has been shown that there is a potential that the probe will react with both M. celatum and M. tuberculosis [9, 21].
11.9.4 Multiplex PCR
NTMs have emerged as a signicant pathogen, and the number of diseases they cause is rising globally. MAC, M. avium, M. intracellulare, M. kansasii, M. absces- sus, etc. are the most frequently isolated species from individuals with non­tubercular mycobacterial infection. Multiplex-PCR is used to nd and classify NTM species, with the target genes being hsp65, rpoB, and 16S rRNA.A precise and sensitive technique for quickly identifying NTM species from clinical speci­mens is multiplex PCR [22].

11.10 Advance Methods forDetection ofNTM
11.10.1 MALDI-TOF Method
The detection of non-tuberculous mycobacterium species has been aided by the development of an advanced technique that compares the mass spectral patterns of molecules, primarily ribosomal proteins, which are unique to non-tuberculous M. species in a library of known non-tuberculous mycobacterium strains. The basis for identication is the spectral ngerprints that extracted proteins produce. It is regarded as the fastest method and has discovered about 160 non-tuberculous myco­bacterium species. Compared to the conventional microbiological identication method, the procedure is simple, rapid, and associated with much lower consumable costs [2, 9]. The technique offers rapid and accurate detection while also saving a sizable amount of money. The only challenges are optimizing the protein extraction technique and updating the database to include the most therapeutically signicant species possible [10, 11].
11.10.2 Whole Genome Sequencing
The gold standard for identifying non-tuberculous mycobacterium species, which aids in comprehending their geographic and environmental distribution, is whole genome sequencing. The 16S rRNA gene is the most often investigated gene for the identication of bacteria and is the rst option for sequence analysis. In order to identify NTM species, the sequences of each gene are compared with the gathered database to nd commonalities. WGS can offer details on the pathogenicity and antimicrobial agent resistance traits of diverse microbes [21, 23].
11.10.3 DNA Microarray
With the use of DNA microarray technology, a large number of DNA sequences can be detected in a shorter amount of time by a single step of hybridization. The method has been applied to nd resistant mutations in mycobacteria and to discover myco­bacterial species. A DNA array with nucleotide probes is hybridized with uores­cence labeled amplicons produced from bacterial culture for use in a polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The scanner then picks up a uorescent signal that is emitted by the bound amplicons. This method allows for the differentiation of 54 different mycobacterial species using 82 different 16S rRNA sequences and 51 sequences with various rpoB gene mutations [2].

11.11 Immunodiagnostic Test
11.11.1 Interferon-Gamma-Based Determination
Culture ltrate protein (CFP-10) and early secretory antigenic target (ESAT-6) are two specic antigens encoded in a region of difference 1 (RD) that are used in interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs), which aid in the detection of NTM infection. Enzyme-linked immunospot SPOT TB assay (United Kingdom) and QuantiFERON TB, as well as its improved versions QuantiFERON TB Gold and QuantiFERON TB Gold in-tube assays (Australia), are examples of the several INF commercial kits that are currently available [1, 4].
11.11.2 Immuno-Chromatographic Test
Immuno-chromatographic testing that is quick and simple SD Bioline in South Korea created the MPT64 TB Ag kit, which makes it simple to quickly identify and distinguish between M. tuberculosis isolates and NTM isolates based on their MPT 64 antigen levels. M. bovis BCG, M. tuberculosis, and sub-strains of mycobacteria are all quickly identied using the extremely sensitive MPT 64TB Ag kit [4].
11.12 Treatment ofNTM
Due to a number of circumstances, such as multidrug resistance regimens, long­term therapy, and side effects brought on by frequent drug usage, the treatment of NTM infection is complicated and constrained. To handle NTM infections, a well­coordinated strategy is necessary. At the moment, ATS recommendations for assess­ing the clinical importance of NTM from various specimens are being followed [9].
(a) Clinical criteria include a chest radiograph with nodular or cavitary opacities
or an HRCT scan with bronchiectasis and numerous tiny nodules are examples of clinical criteria [9].
(b) Microbiologic criteria: A sputum AFB smear should be repeated if the results
are not diagnostic, and a culture-positive isolate from one bronchial wash, lavage, and lung biopsy with mycobacterial histological characteristics should also be examined.
The broth micro-dilution method is advised for drug susceptibility testing of NTM.The obtained MIC value aids the doctor in determining the necessary antimi­crobial agent needed at the infected spot to prevent an organism’s growth. At the moment, recommendations are given for MAC, M. kansasii, M. marinum, and rap­idly expanding mycobacteria [9, 14].

11.13 Drug Susceptibility Testing (DST)
The manner of treatment regimens utilized for non-tubercular mycobacterial infec­tions is guided by DST.The test culture is added to two tubes of Middlebrook 7H9 liquid medium for inoculation. One of the MGIT tubes is supplemented with a known concentration of a test substance, and the growth is compared to the un­inoculated one. If the test medicine is effective against the isolated NTM, it will suppress uorescence and impede growth, whereas the growth control will grow unhindered and exhibit increased uorescence. The BACTEC 960 equipment mea­sures growth and instantly determines whether the results are resistant or sensitive.
11.13.1 M. avium Complex
1. Reasons to conduct susceptibility tests [9, 14].
(a) Patients receiving macrolide treatment who are clinically signicant. (b) Cases with bacteremia while on macrolide prophylaxis. (c) Cases on macrolide treatment who experienced recurrence. (d) Individuals with widespread illness identied by clinically signicant spu-
tum or Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) samples.
Broth-based methods like 5% OADC supplemented with cation-adjusted Mueller Hinton broth (CAMHB), are recommended to perform drug susceptibility testing. Incubation is done for 7days at 37°C in ambient air for micro-dilution trays. If growth is insufcient, trays should be re-incubated and read once more at 10–14days. Drug susceptibility testing should be done after 3months of treatment for patients with disseminated disease and after 6months of treatment for patients with chronic pulmonary disease if the patient shows no clinical improvement and the culture is still positive.
11.13.2 M. kansasii [14]
Treatment for M. kansasii typically involves the use of clinically effective medica­tions, such as isoniazid, rifampicin, and ethambutol. A different medicine combina­tion, rifampicin, ethambutol, and clarithromycin, has been proven to be efcient. For testing with primary treatment medications, broth micro-dilution, and agar pro­portion have been used. It is advised to use CAMHB supplemented with 5% OADC while micro-dilution broth. The growth of micro-dilution trays is observed after 7–14days of incubation at 37°C and 5–10% CO2. CO2 must be avoided when test­ing macrolides. Untreated strains’ MICs for these medications will fall within a specic range, so routine testing is typically unnecessary. Treatment failure happens

and is frequently correlated with MIC values resistant to rifampicin, with sporadic reports of resistance to isoniazid and ethambutol as well. Susceptibility testing is crucial for patients who failed therapy or did not respond well to initial therapy, for these reasons.
171
11.13.3 M. marinum [14]
Variability in susceptibility to therapeutically effective antimicrobial drugs or a siz­able risk of developing acquired mutational resistance to one or more of these agents serves as the primary justications for susceptibility testing of NTM. M. marinum infections have been successfully treated with rifampicin, doxycycline, minocy­cline, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and clarithromycin as single agents. For individuals whose treatment has failed after several months and whose cultures are still positive, testing for M. marinum may be an option. It has been recommended to test for M. marinum using a 5% OADC supplemented with CAMHB in a broth micro-dilution. For 7days, incubation should take place between 28 and 30°C.A macrolide should not be tested with CO2 and should be incubated at 5 to 10% CO2.
11.13.4 Rapidly Growing Mycobacteria [14]
For the purpose of assessing the susceptibility of rapidly proliferating mycobacte­ria, the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) document M24–A2 sug­gests using broth micro-dilution MIC determination. Agar tests and E-tests are not advised due to inconsistent ndings. M. fortuitum, M. peregrinum, M. chelonae, and M. abscessus are among the recommended strains. Amikacin, cefoxitin, ciprooxa­cin, clarithromycin, co-trimoxazole, doxycycline, imipenem, linezolid, moxioxa­cin, and tobramycin are medications that have been shown effective against rapidely growing bacteria (RGM). After 72h of incubation, micro-dilution trays should be tested at a temperature of 28 to 30 °C. The MIC should be recorded if there is growth in the growth control that is at least +2, else, re-incubate the tray and read on the fourth day. Repeat testing should be done if the growth on the fth day is insuf­cient. In the event that RGM does not improve after 6months of suitable antibiotic medication, it is required to conrm species identication and repeat susceptibility testing.

11.14 Conclusion
The detection and treatment of non-tubercular mycobacteria has become a major concern worldwide. Even though the genetic diversity of NTM has implications for therapeutic effectiveness and epidemiological dominance, the clinical signicance of NTM has historically been overstated. It might be able to identify and differenti­ate NTM with the advancement of more genetic and molecular approaches.
