Hospital water filters as a source of Mycobacterium avium complex.

Journal of medical microbiology - 1 Oct 2010

Falkinham Joseph O

Abstract excerpt

Bronchoscopes and the filters used for washing them were found to yield high numbers of Mycobacterium avium isolates sharing the same repetitive sequence-based PCR (rep-PCR) fingerprint pattern as M. avium isolates recovered from patient samples collected by bronchoscopy. Water and biofilm samples collected from the bronchoscopy preparation laboratory yielded M. avium, Mycobacterium intracellulare, Mycobacterium...
