Rough and smooth variant <i>Mycobacterium abscessus</i> infections are differentially controlled by host immunity during chronic infection

2019-11-29

Abstract excerpt

Infections caused by Mycobacterium abscessus are increasing in prevalence within patient groups with respiratory comorbidities. Initial colonisation by the smooth colony M. abscessus (S) can be followed by an irreversible genetic switch into a highly inflammatory rough colony M. abscessus (R), often associated with a decline in pulmonary function. Our understanding of the role of adaptive immunity in M. absces...
