Mycobacterium abscessus Smooth and Rough Morphotypes Form Antimicrobial-Tolerant Biofilm Phenotypes but Are Killed by Acetic Acid

5 Jan 2018

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Mycobacterium abscessus has emerged as an important pathogen in people with chronic inflammatory lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis, and recent reports suggest that it may be transmissible by fomites. M. abscessus exhibits two major colony morphology variants: a smooth morphotype (MaSm) and a rough morphotype (MaRg). Biofilm formation, prolonged intracellular survival, and colony variant diversity can...
