Transcriptional Regulator, Metabolic, and Pilus Biosynthesis Genes as Candidate Virulence Markers in High-Virulence <i>Mycobacterium abscessus</i>
2025-05-08
Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium abscessus is a rapidly growing non-tuberculosis mycobacterium that opportunistically causes pulmonary infections and is notable for its high resistance to antibiotics. While ubiquitous in environmental reservoirs such as soil, water, and biofilms, the genetic factors that enable certain strains to invade and persist in human hosts have remained elusive. To address this gap, we compared whole-genome s...
