The four groups of people mentioned all have immune systems that aren't 100% normal for different reasons. Newborn infants & the elderly * Patients on chemotherapy (including high doses of prednisone) * People infected with HIV * Organ transplant recipients on immunosuppresive drugs Those groups are ALWAYS at risk from diseases that don't affect "normal" people. I am not so sure that Mycobacterium should be classified as a fungus. I have always heard it referred to as a group in it's own class. MB have some characteristics of a fungus and some of bacteria.
