Comparison of Isogenic Strains Shows No Evidence of Altered Nosocomial Transmission-Competency of Rough, GPL-Negative Mycobacterium abscessus Strains

ABSTRACT Mycobacterium abscessus is an emerging pathogen causing severe pulmonary infections. While environmental in origin, in the clinical setting M. abscessus often changes to a Rough phenotype associated with severe non-remitting infections. Clinical isolates baring mutations in glycopeptidolipi...
