Mycobacterium abscessus Lung Infection: A Case Report.
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous, and more than 150 species have been identified.1,2 These low-virulence mycobacteria are known to cause mostly opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients, although they are increasingly seen in normal hosts.1,2 Mycobacterium abscessus complex is a rapidly growing NTM, which was the second most commonly isolated NTM pulmonary pathogen ...
متن کاملMixed Infection of Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. abscessus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the Lung
A mixed infection of Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. abscessus (Mab) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in the lung is an unusual clinical manifestation and has not yet been reported.

متن کاملTreatment of Mycobacterium abscessus Infection.
Mycobacterium abscessus is often resistant to multiple antimicrobial drugs, and data supporting effective drugs or dosing regimens are limited. To better identify treatment approaches and associated toxicities, we collected a series of case reports from the Emerging Infections Network. Side effects were common and often led to changing or discontinuing therapy.
متن کاملMycobacterium abscessus subsp abscessus lung disease: ‘trouble ahead, trouble behind…’
Mycobacterium abscessus subsp abscessus is the most common respiratory pathogen among the rapidly growing non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) and is also the most feared due to its well-deserved reputation for being refractory to antibiotic therapy. M. abscessus subsp abscessus has multiple innate antibiotic resistance mechanisms, but the most important one described so far is an inducible eryth...
متن کاملDisseminated Mycobacterium abscessus Infection Following Septic Arthritis
