C Trial Summary

The goal of this observational study is to facilitate standardized nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) outbreak investigations in healthcare centers. The main questions it aims to answer are: Are respiratory NTM isolates identified as having membership in a suspected healthcare outbreak highly related based on whole genome sequencing? Does epidemiologic investigation support healthcare-associated patient-to-patient NTM transmission? Does healthcare environmental sampling support healthcare-associated NTM acquisition? If healthcare-associated NTM outbreaks are suspected, participants identified as having membership in a cluster of highly-related NTM infections will complete a demographic questionnaire.

Eligible Conditions
  • Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Lung Disease
  • Tuberculosis
  • Healthcare-Associated Infections
  • Outbreak Investigation
