Evolution towards extremely high β-lactam resistance in <i>Mycobacterium abscessus</i> outbreak strains

2024-05-10

Abstract excerpt

Treatment of Mycobacterium abscessus pulmonary disease requires multiple antibiotics including intravenous β-lactams (e.g., imipenem, meropenem). M. abscessus produces a β-lactamase (Bla Mab ) that inactivates β-lactam drugs but less efficiently carbapenems. Due to intrinsic and acquired resistance in M. abscessus and poor clinical outcomes, it is critical to understand the development of antibiotic resistance...
