Abstract

The Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABC) includes non-tuberculous mycobacteria that are widely distributed and clinically significant. Similar to tuberculosis, MABC can lead to skin and soft tissue infections and pulmonary diseases. These infections frequently occur in outbreaks, particularly among immunocompromised patients or those with preexisting pulmonary conditions. This review examines the recent progress in essential areas that define these infections as a significant challenge in medical practice, specifically the diagnostic modalities, antibiotic treatment options, and resistance of MABC to antibiotics and biocides.

脓肿分枝杆菌感染诊断与治疗的挑战。

脓肿分枝杆菌复合体（MABC）包括广泛分布和具有临床意义的非结核分枝杆菌。与结核病类似，MABC可导致皮肤和软组织感染以及肺部疾病。这些感染经常在疫情中发生，特别是在免疫功能低下的患者或先前存在肺部疾病的患者中。本文综述了将这些感染定义为医疗实践中的重大挑战的关键领域的最新进展，特别是诊断方式、抗生素治疗选择以及MABC对抗生素和杀菌剂的耐药性。
