Mycobacterium abscessus and Mycobacterium massiliense exhibit distinct host and organ specificity: a cross‐sectional study

Purpose: Precise subspeciation of Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MAB) is crucial for predicting antibiotic susceptibilities and patient outcomes. However, routine clinical microbiology laboratories have limited diagnostic tools for the differentiation of the subspecies. Thus, we investigated the p...
