Geographic hotspots of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection, by NTM type, Missouri, USA, 2008–2019. Colors indicate rank order, based on relative risk point estimates. A) For all NTM infections, relative risk was 3.62 for rank 1, 2.45 for rank 2, 2.19 for rank 3, 1.66 for rank 4, and 1.53 for rank 5. B) For rapid-growing NTM, relative risk was 3.84 for rank 1, 2.69 for rank 2, and 1.99 for rank 3. C) For slow-growing NTM, relative risk was 5.42 for rank 1, 4.52 for rank 2, and 1.42 for rank 3.
