Investigating hospital <i>Mycobacterium chelonae</i> infection using whole genome sequencing and hybrid assembly

2020-07-10

Abstract excerpt

Mycobacterium chelonae is a rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacterium that is a common cause of nosocomial infections. Here we describe investigation of a possible nosocomial transmission of M. chelonae at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP). M. chelonae strains with similar high-level antibiotic resistance patterns were isolated from two patients who developed post-operative infections at HU...
