Microevolution, reinfection and highly complex genomic diversity in patients with sequential isolates of Mycobacterium abscessus
28 Mar 2024
Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium abscessus is an opportunistic, extensively drug-resistant non-tuberculous mycobacterium. Few genomic studies consider its diversity in persistent infections. Our aim was to characterize microevolution/reinfection events in persistent infections. Fifty-three sequential isolates from 14 patients were sequenced to determine SNV-based distances, assign resistance mutations and characterize plasmids....
