Article Synopsis
- Mycobacterium chelonae, M. avium, and M. abscessus are emerging pathogens that cause mycobacteriosis, and treatment efficacy relies on identifying their species and drug sensitivity.
- A study from Colombia analyzed the susceptibility of these mycobacteria to macrolides and aminoglycosides using the GenoType® NTM-DR method over a four-year period.
- Results showed that most M. avium cultures were sensitive to both drug classes, while a significant proportion of M. abscessus showed resistance to macrolides; all M. chelonae cultures were sensitive, highlighting Amikacin as the least resistant drug among these species.
