Lipid metabolic pathways determine phage infectivity in <i>Mycobacterium abscessus</i>

2026-03-25

Abstract excerpt

Mycobacterium abscessus is a rapidly growing non-tuberculous mycobacterium with high intrinsic antibiotic resistance, requiring innovative therapeutics. During infection, smooth and rough colony morphotypes can coexist in the human body, participating in the pathogenesis. Despite its increasing clinical importance and phage therapy being a last resort treatment recently, the genetic basis of phage interaction in...
