Reinfection or relapse? A case study of whole genome sequencing guided genomic characterization of Mycobacterium abscessus chronic infection in a cystic fibrosis patient
A 7-year-old cystic fibrosis patient with increased cough, new pulmonary infiltrate, and declining pulmonary function was diagnosed with clarithromycin resistant Mycobacterium abscessus infection. Treatment was initiated with clofazimine, linezolid and cefoxitin; she responded well to therapy and ac...
