Analysis of drug-susceptibility patterns and gene sequences associated with clarithromycin and amikacin resistance in serial Mycobacterium abscessus isolates from clinical specimens from Northeast Thailand

Abstract excerpt

Mycobacterium abscessus is an important infectious agent highly associated with drug resistance and treatment failure. We investigated the drug resistance situation of M. abscessus in Northeast Thailand and the possible genetic basis for this. Sixty-eight M. abscessus clinical isolates were obtained from 26 patients at Srinagarind Hospital during 2012-2016. Drug susceptibility tests and sequencing of erm(41), rrl...
