Abstract

Lung infections with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), and particularlyMycobacterium abscessus, a pathogen with high antibiotic resistance, are of great concern due to poor clinical outcomes and challenging detection in people with cystic fibrosis and other diseases. Standard detection methods are insensitive and increasingly difficult.
