Abstract:
Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABC), a rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacterium, has received increasing attention worldwide due to its rising isolation rate. The similarity of symptoms between MABC pulmonary disease and tuberculosis, different treatment methods required by different subtypes, as well as high levels of innate, adaptive and acquired antibiotic resistance, make MABC treatment more difficult and lead to unfavorable clinical outcomes of patients. This article reviews the basic characteristics, common antibiotic resistance mechanisms, as well as diagnosis and treatment of MABC, to provide reference for future research and clinical treatment of MABC lung disease.
