Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABSC) subspecies differentiation improves patients' therapy and outcome. Fourier-Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IRS) was applied for subspecies discrimination of 15 strains on different media: Löwenstein-Jensen showed the best resolution power; Linear Discriminant Analysis model differentiated M. abscessus susbsp. abscessus from M. abscessus subsp. massiliense. FT-IRS has a potential role in rapidly MABSC subspecies identification.
