Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium abscessus is a major nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) pathogen and is responsible for about 80% of all pulmonary infections caused by rapidly growing mycobacteria. Clofazimine is an effective drug active against M. abscessus, but the mechanism of resistance to clofazimine in M. abscessus is unknown. To investigate the molecular basis of clofazimine resistance in M. abscessus, we isolated 29 M....
