Summary:The nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have been found in different environmental sources. They tend to colonize different body surfaces and secretions. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the presence of NTM in the theater environment. Fifty of Theater environment sample were examined using acid-fast stain, Lowenstein -Jensen medium culture, PCR and DNA-Sequencing. 4 of 50 samples were detected as NFB in AFB stain, L-J medium culture, PCR. and then, All of 4 NTM stains identified as Mycobacterium fortitum type in DNA-sequencing result.
