Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mycobacterium abscessus is a rapidly growing mycobacterium that is often associated with human infections. The taxonomy of this species has undergone several revisions and is still being debated.

RESULTS: A data mining approach was used to rank and select informative...
