Cross-transmission is not the source of new <i>Mycobacterium abscessus</i> infections in a multi-centre cohort of cystic fibrosis patients

2019-03-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Mycobacterium abscessus is an extensively drug resistant pathogen that causes pulmonary disease particularly in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Identifying direct patient-to-patient transmission of M. abscessus is critically important in directing infection control policy for the management of risk in CF patients. A variety of clinical labs have used molecular epidemiology to investigate trans...
