Exposure of Mycobacteriodes abscessus clones to mucin affects bacterial phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

In the past 20 years infections caused by Mycobacterioides abscessus have become increasingly common in patients with chronic lung conditions. The microorganisms are also resistant to a number of antibiotic classes, making treatment challenging. To begin understanding how the bacterium adapts to the lung environment, pure colonies of M. abscessus strain 19,977 were grown in 7H9 broth with or without mucin over...
