More...This organism causes a chronic lung infection, similar to tuberculosis, in patients with cystic fibrosis. Mycobacterium abscessus also causes wound and ear infections, and in immunosuppressed patients causes a generalized skin infection. This organism is very resistant to many commonly used antibiotics, which makes treatment difficult. This strain was isolated in 2008 from a patient during an outbreak of surgical infections in Assis, State of São Paulo, Brazil.
