Inducible and Acquired Clarithromycin Resistance in the Mycobacterium abscessus Complex. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 PurposeClarithromycin was considered the cornerstone for the treatment of Mycobacterium abscessus complex infections. Genetic resistance mechanisms have been described and many experts propose amikacin as an alternative.
