Mycobacterium abscessus , an inherently drug-resistant, opportunistic, nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) predominantly causes pulmonary infections in immunocompromised patients, notably those with cystic fibrosis. M. abscessus subspecies display distinct colony morphologies (rough and smooth), with the prevalent view that M. abscessus (smooth) is a persistent, biofilm-forming phenotype, whilst M. abscessus (ro...
