Mutation rates and adaptive variation among the clinically dominant clusters of <i>Mycobacterium abscessus</i>
2022-04-27
Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium abscessus ( Mab ) is a multi-drug resistant pathogen increasingly responsible for severe pulmonary infections. Analysis of whole genome sequences (WGS) of Mab demonstrates dense genetic clustering of clinical isolates collected from disparate geographic locations. This has been interpreted as supporting patient-to-patient transmission, but epidemiological studies have contradicted this interpretati...
