Rough and smooth variants of Mycobacterium abscessus are differentially controlled by host immunity during chronic infection of adult zebrafish

Rough and smooth variants of Mycobacterium abscessus are differentially controlled by host immunity during chronic infection of adult zebrafish

The pathogen Mycobacterium abscessus can switch from a smooth colony form (S) into a highly inflammatory, rough colony form (R) during infection. Here, Kam et al. use an adult zebrafish model of M. abscessus chronic infection to illustrate differences in the immunopathogenesis induced by R and S var...
