Abstract

Mycobacterium abscessus is an opportunistic pathogen notorious for its resistance to most classes of antibiotics and low cure rates. M. abscessus carries an array of mostly unexplored defense mechanisms. A deeper understanding of antibiotic resistance and tolerance mechanisms is pivotal in development of targeted therapeutic regimens.
