Evolution of Mycobacterium abscessus in the human lung: Cumulative mutations and genomic rearrangement of porin genes in patient isolates

Evolution of Mycobacterium abscessus in the human lung: Cumulative mutations and genomic rearrangement of porin genes in patient isolates

ABSTRACTBackground Mycobacterium abscessus subspecies massiliense (M. massiliense) is increasingly recognized as an emerging bacterial pathogen, particularly in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and CF centres’ respiratory outbreaks. We characterized genomic and phenotypic changes in 15 serial isolates...
