Emergence and spread of a human-transmissible multidrug-resistant nontuberculous mycobacterium
Copyright policy )Emergence and spread of a human-transmissible multidrug-resistant nontuberculous mycobacterium
Global spread of aggressive mycobacteria Many mycobacteria, in addition to those causing leprosy and tuberculosis, are capable of infecting humans. Some can be particularly dangerous in patients suffering from immunosuppression or chronic disease, such as cystic fibrosis (CF). Bryant et al. observed clusters of near-identical isolates of drug-resistant Mycobacterium abscessus in patients reporting to CF clinics. The similarity of the isolates suggests transmission between patients, rather than environmental acquisition. Although this bacterium is renowned for its environmental resilience, the mechanism for its long-distance transmission among the global CF patient community remains a puzzle.
