High rate of macrolide resistance and closely genetically related complex strains identified among both cystic fibrosis and non-cystic fibrosis patients within two countries.

Unlabelled: is an emerging opportunistic pathogen affecting patients with chronic lung diseases, primarily cystic fibrosis (CF), or those under immunosuppression. Hence, investigations into the epidemiology and transmission of and accurate antibiotic susceptibility data are essential for the effective treatment of infections caused by this pathogen. This retrospective nationwide study included all clinical isolates ( = 59) from 29 patients diagnosed in the Czech Republic and Slovakia between 2018 and 2023.
