Studies on the Smooth and Rough colony morphotypes of Mycobacterium abscessus and their relevance to infection transmission

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Mycobacterium abscessus (Mab) is an opportunistic pathogen causing severe infections in patients with pre-existing lung disease, notably cystic fibrosis; it was first described in 1953 after isolation from a knee abscess (type strain Mab ATCC 19977). Despite its presumed environmental reservoir, recent evidence indicates patient to patient transmission. Mab is divided into two colony morphotypes, Smooth (S) and Ro...
