Whole genome sequencing showed that the same strain was isolated from the shared shower water of the oncology unit. Non-tuberculous mycobacteria frequently contaminate hospital water networks. Preventative actions are needed to reduce the exposure risk for immunocompromised patients.ENAfalseInvestigation of a Mycobacterium fortuitum catheter-related bloodstream infection in an oncology unit2023-05-192022-10-18PRJNA843029
