Antibiograms and Molecular Characterization of Drug Resistance of <i>Mycobacterium abscessus</i> complex from Patients with Multidrug-Resistant Pulmonary Tuberculosis (MDR TB) Infection

2019-12-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> In the Philippines, acid fast bacilli positive sputum samples commonly treated as TB due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) complex. However, Mycobacterium abscessus (MAB) complex is often found in MTB cultures, or in patients confirmed negative for TB through sputum microscopy and culture. Hence, patients with MAB infections are mistakenly prescribed six-month anti-TB treatments. In this stu...
