Rationale: Outbreaks of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) among people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) have been reported at CF centers with conflicting conclusions. The occurrence of NTM at the UVMC (University of Vermont Medical Center) adult CF program was investigated. Objectives: Use the HALT NTM (Healthcare-associated Links in Transmission of NTM) toolkit to investigate the healthcare-associated transmission and/or acquisition of NTM among pwCF having genetically similar NTM isolates. Methods: Whole genome sequencing of NTM isolates from 23 pwCF was conducted to identify genetically similar NTM isolate clusters (30 or fewer single-nucleotide polymorphism differences). The epidemiological investigation, comparison of respiratory and healthcare environmental isolates, and home residence watershed mapping were analyzed. Results: Whole genome sequencing analysis revealed two clusters of NTM isolates (Mycobacterium avium and M. intracellulare ssp. chimaera) among pwCF. The epidemiologic investigation demonstrated opportunities for healthcare-associated transmission within both clusters. Healthcare environmental M. avium isolates revealed no genetic similarity to respiratory isolates. However, M. intracellulare ssp. chimaera respiratory isolates revealed greater genetic similarity to a hospital water biofilm isolate than to each other. Neither cluster had all subjects residing in the same watershed. Conclusions: This study suggests the healthcare-associated transmission of M. avium among pwCF is unlikely at UVMC but supports the healthcare-associated environmental acquisition of M. intracellulare ssp. chimaera. The presence of genetically similar isolates alone is insufficient to confirm healthcare-associated transmission and/or acquisition. The HALT NTM toolkit standardizes outbreak investigation with genetic analysis, epidemiologic investigation, healthcare environmental sampling, and home of residence watershed identification to test the frequency and nature of healthcare-associated NTM transmission among pwCF.
