Mycobacteroides abscessus (formerly Mycobacterium abscessus[1]) is a species of rapidly growing, multidrug-resistant, nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) that is a common soil and water contaminant. Although M. abscessus most commonly causes chronic lung infection and skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI), it can also cause infection in almost all human organs, mostly in patients with suppressed immune systems.[3] Amongst NTM species responsible for disease, infection caused by M. abscessus complex are more difficult to treat due to antimicrobial drug resistance.[4]
M. abscessus grown in starch-based medium on a Petri dish: Colonies appear as light yellow streaks.
