<em>Mycobacterium chimaera</em> from Cardio Surgery Heating-Cooling Units and from Clinical Samples in Israel are Genetically Unrelated

2021-08-09

Abstract excerpt

Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are opportunistic pathogens that cause illness primarily in the elderly, in the immunocompromised or in patients with underlying lung disease. Mycobacterium chimaera is a NTM species belonging to the M. avium Complex (MAC) group of species. Since 2013, a global outbreak of M. chimaera infection related to heater-cooler units (HCU) used in cardio-thoracic surgery has been identifi...
