Ongoing rigorous surveillance for healthcare-associated NTM alerted investigators to a cluster of three extrapulmonary M. abscessus infections among patients who had undergone cardiothoracic surgery. This outbreak investigation highlighted the need for additional heater-cooler device design modifications to better contain aerosols or filter exhaust during device operation to prevent NTM transmission.", "8e258b49-53ff-4566-8088-a5161e4a62cc": "A cluster of three extrapulmonary Mycobacterium abscessus infections linked to well-maintained water-based heater-cooler devices"}
