The taxonomic position of members of the Mycobacterium abscessus complex has been the subject of intensive investigation and, in some aspects confusion, in recent years as a result of varying approaches to genetic data interpretation. Currently, the former species Mycobacterium massiliense and Mycobacterium bolletii are grouped together as ...

Mycobacterium abscessus: It’s Complex
Mycobacterium abscessus (M. abscessus) is an opportunistic pathogen usually colonizing abnormal lung airways and is often seen in patients with cystic fibrosis. Currently, there is no vaccine available for M. abscessus in clinical development. The treatment of M.

Proposal that Mycobacterium massiliense and Mycobacterium bolletii be united and reclassified as Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. bolletii comb. nov., designation of Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. abscessus subsp. nov. and emended description of Mycobacterium abscessus [PDF]
The names ‘Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. abscessus’ and ‘Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. massiliense’, proposed by Leao et al. (2009, J Clin Microbiol 47, 2691–2698), cannot be validly published. The purpose of this report is to provide a description in accordance with the Rules of the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision).

Rifabutin Is Inactivated by Mycobacterium abscessus Arr [PDF]
Mycobacterium abscessus exhibits arr (ADP-ribosyltransferase)-dependent rifampin resistance. In apparent contrast, rifabutin (RBT) has demonstrated promising activity in M. abscessus infection models, implying that RBT might not be inactivated by Arr.

Paradoxical worsening of pulmonary Mycobacterium abscessus [PDF]
Transient worsening of tuberculosis (TB) symptomatology and lesions in response to anti-TB therapy has previously been reported as paradoxical worsening. Recently, paradoxical worsening of TB following antiretroviral therapy in AIDS patients was reported. However, paradoxical worsening of nontuberculous mycobacterium, including Mycobacterium abscessus (

Mycobacterium abscessus Endocarditis: A Case Report and Literature Review
Infective endocarditis owing to Mycobacterium abscessus infection is rarely reported. Most cases of infective endocarditis caused by Mycobacterium abscessus are seen in patients after valve replacement. Although early surgical intervention is recommended

Mycobacteriophage-drived diversification of Mycobacterium abscessus [PDF]
Mycobacterium abscessus is an emerging opportunistic pathogen which diversity was acknowledged by the recent description of two subspecies accommodating M. abscessus, Mycobacterium bolletii and Mycobacterium massiliense isolates.Here, genome analysis found 1-8 prophage regions in 47/48 M.

Etamycin as a Novel Mycobacterium abscessus Inhibitor [PDF]
The increase in drug-resistant Mycobacterium abscessus, which has become resistant to existing standard-of-care agents, is a major concern, and new antibacterial agents are strongly needed. In this study, we introduced etamycin that showed an excellent activity against M. abscessus.
