ClinConnect Summary

The TrANsMIt study is looking into how nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections spread in healthcare settings. Researchers want to understand if patients in a suspected outbreak are closely related based on genetic testing and if these infections could be passed from one patient to another. They will also investigate if the healthcare environment contributes to these infections. If you're an adult (30 years or older) who has been diagnosed with NTM or has had a positive test for it, you might be eligible to participate in this study.

Participants will fill out a questionnaire about their background and health history, which will help researchers gather important information. The study is currently recruiting participants, and it's open to anyone regardless of gender. If you join, you’ll be contributing to important research that could help improve our understanding of how these infections spread in hospitals and clinics.
