Massive and Lengthy Clonal Nosocomial Expansion of Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. massiliense among Patients Who Are Ventilator Dependent without Cystic Fibrosis

Massive and Lengthy Clonal Nosocomial Expansion of Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. massiliense among Patients Who Are Ventilator Dependent without Cystic Fibrosis

ABSTRACT Nontuberculous mycobacterial infections are generally believed to be independently acquired from the environment. Although person-to-person transmission of nontuberculous mycobacteria, especially Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. massiliense, is a serious concern among individuals with cystic...
