To determine MIC distributions for Mycobacterium chimaera, Mycobacterium intracellulare, Mycobacterium colombiense and Mycobacterium avium, and to derive tentative epidemiological cut-off (ECOFF) values. A total of 683 bacterial isolates (M. chimaera, n = 203; M. intracellulare, n = 77; M. colombien...
