Epidemiology of Healthcare Facility-Associated Nontuberculous Mycobacteria From 2012 Through 2020 in a 10-Hospital Network in the United States
Incidence rates of HO NTM episodes decreased from 2014 through 2020, but rates varied substantially among hospitals. These results provide comprehensive data on HO NTM isolation, including benchmark rates that can be used to improve hospital-based NTM surveillance.
