Mycobacterium abscessus

Recently had an outbreak of Mycobacterium abscessus which was traced to a local YMCA pool.  This is a RWI I have not heard of, looking for any information on it I can find.  

So far I have found that a CT value is 3-10 times that of giardia and that it is commonly transmitted in dirt.  Not a lot on the swimming pool front.  Any information is appreciated.
