Whole Genome Sequencing of Nontuberculous Mycobacterium (NTM) Isolates from Sputum Specimens of Co-Habiting Patients with NTM Pulmonary Disease and NTM Isolates from Their Environment

2020-04-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) species are ubiquitous microorganisms. NTM pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) is thought to be caused not by human-to-human transmission but by independent environmental acquisition. However, recent studies using next-generation sequencing (NGS) have reported trans-continental spread of Mycobacterium abscessus among patients with cystic fibrosis. <h4>Results: </h4>...
