Rapid and Accurate Discrimination of Mycobacterium abscessus Subspecies Based on Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Spectrum and Machine Learning Algorithms

Abstract excerpt

Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABC) has been reported to cause complicated infections. Subspecies identification of MABC is crucial for adequate treatment due to different antimicrobial resistance properties amid subspecies. However, long incubation days are needed for the traditional antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST). Delayed effective antibiotics administration often causes unfavorable outcomes. Thus,...
