Figure 5.

(A) Healthcare environmental sample collection of the clinic and hospital settings demonstrating nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) diversity and comparison with respiratory isolates from people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) is shown. (B) Within the state of Colorado, (B.1) cities and county lines are shown. (B.2) Watershed boundaries are shown, and (B.3) home of residence mapping of pwCF in Mycobacterium abscessus subspecies (ssp.) abscessus clusters demonstrates M. abscessus cluster E shared the same home residence watershed in the absence of any evidence of healthcare-associated overlaps. Mycobacterium intracellulare, Mycobacterium abscessus ssp. massiliense, and Mycobacterium avium clusters (not shown) did not demonstrate shared home of residence watershed.
