Non-cholera Vibrio infections in Southeast Asia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
J Infect Public Health
November 2024
We reviewed and analyzed the existing data on vibriosis in Southeast Asia to better understand its burden and prevalent causal agents. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE for studies published between January 2000 and April 2024. A random-effects meta-analysis was used to estimate the pooled isolation rate of non-cholera Vibrio species.

- This study investigated a suspected outbreak of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) among cystic fibrosis (CF) patients at the University of Texas Southwestern (UTSW) using genomic sequencing and epidemiological methods.
- Whole-genome sequencing of 50 respiratory isolates revealed seven clusters of genetically similar NTM, with some evidence of potential healthcare-associated transmission within three clusters.
- The findings suggest that while person-to-person transmission within the healthcare setting is rare, patients may be acquiring infections from multiple sources outside of the hospital environment.
