Subspecies Distribution and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Mycobacterium abscessus Clinical Isolates in Madrid, Spain: a Retrospective Multicenter Study

Subspecies Distribution and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Mycobacterium abscessus Clinical Isolates in Madrid, Spain: a Retrospective Multicenter Study

ABSTRACT Mycobacterium abscessus (MABS) is the most pathogenic and drug-resistant rapidly growing mycobacteria. However, studies on MABS epidemiology, especially those focusing on subspecies level, are scarce. We aimed to determine MABS subspecies distribution and its correlation with phenotypic and...
