A target-specific assay for rapid and quantitative detection of Mycobacterium chimaera DNA in environmental and clinical specimens

2017-02-09

Abstract excerpt

Mycobacterium chimaera is an opportunistic environmental mycobacterium, belonging to the Mycobacterium intracellulare complex. Although most commonly associated with pulmonary disease, there has been growing awareness of invasive M. chimaera infections following cardiac surgery. Investigations suggest world-wide spread of a specific M. chimaera clone, associated with contaminated hospital heater-cooler units us...
