Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mycobacterium abscessus infection in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) can result in accelerated clinical decline and the potential for direct or indirect transmission between patients has been recently demonstrated. Data on the outcomes of M abscessus outbreaks and the efficacy of specific infection control procedures in patients with CF remain limited. This study provides follow-up from an outbreak...
