Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Mycobacterium avium lung disease (MA-LD) poses significant challenges in predicting disease progression. This study aimed to characterize the genomic diversification of M. avium and define its relationship to disease progression. METHODS: We investigated the whole-genome sequence data of 36 M. avium clinical strains. Comparative analyses of genomic structure and sequence were undertaken between...
