Transmission and Acquisition of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Outbreak Investigation (TrANsMIt)
National Jewish Health
100 participants
Mar 1, 2023
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
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.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria1
- Male or female participant of any age who has a history of NTM or a first positive NTM culture collected as part of routine clinical care from expectorated sputum, induced sputum and/or bronchoalveolar lavage.
Exclusion Criteria1
- No NTM respiratory culture
