<i>Mycobacterium abscessus</i> biofilms produce an ECM and have a distinct mycolic acid profile

2021-03-06

Abstract excerpt

A non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM), Mycobacterium abscessus is an emerging opportunistic pathogen associated with difficult to treat pulmonary infections, particularly in patients suffering from cystic fibrosis. It is capable of forming biofilms in vitro that result in an increase of already high levels of antibiotic resistance in this bacterium. Evidence that M. abscessus forms biofilm-like microcolonies in...
