Abstract
We report two cases of Mycobacterium abscessus surgical site infection, occurring two years apart, following hair transplantation procedure performed in Turkey. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) and epidemiologic data strongly support a common-source outbreak. These findings highlight risks of medical tourism and the role of genomic testing in cross-border surveillance.
