Deskripsi

Mycobacterium abscessus is an emerging infection of increasing public health concern due to outbreaks and intrinsic multidrug-resistance. Here, the authors develop and evaluate a core-genome multilocus sequence typing scheme for this pathogen to facilitate standardised molecular surveillance.
