Molecular Epidemiological Characteristics of Mycobacterium abscessus Complex Derived from Non-Cystic Fibrosis Patients in Japan and Taiwan

ABSTRACT Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABC) is a group of emerging, highly antimicrobial-resistant non-tuberculous mycobacteria. Specific MABC clones are spreading globally in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF); however, associated genomic epidemiology is lacking in East Asia, with very few pati...
