![Isolation of nonpulmonary nontuberculous mycobacteria by body site, Ontario, Canada, 1998–2010. There was no significant temporal change by anatomic site except for a decrease in skin/soft tissue infections (modeled annual change −0.011 [95% CI −0.020 to −0.003]/100,000 population; p = 0.001). Mycobacterium marinum significantly decreased over time (modeled annual change −0.003 [95% CI −0.007 to 0.001]/100,000 population; p = 0.0480); isolation of other species from nonpulmonary sites was unchan](/eid/images/17-0959-F2.jpg)

Mycobacterium marinum significantly decreased over time (modeled annual change −0.003 [95% CI −0.007 to 0.001]/100,000 population; p = 0.0480); isolation of other species from nonpulmonary sites was unchanged. Overall nonpulmonary isolation modeled annual change was −0.004 (95% CI −0.019 to 0.010)/100,000 population (p = 0.410). CNS, central nervous system; GI, gastrointestinal system; GU, genitourinary system, lymph, lymphatic system; MS, musculoskeletal system.
