Abstract excerpt

Mycobacterium abscessus is a nontuberculous mycobacterium recognized as an emerging opportunistic pathogen that poses a growing clinical challenge worldwide. It causes recalcitrant pulmonary and extrapulmonary infections and is characterized by morphotype switching and biofilm-forming capacity. These phenotypic features are considered important virulence determinants; however, the genetic factors underlying...
