Macrolide Treatment for <i>Mycobacterium abscessus</i> and <i>Mycobacterium massiliense</i> Infection and Inducible Resistance

Abstract

CLR induces greater erm(41) expression and thus higher macrolide resistance than AZM in M. abscessus infection. AZM may be more effective against M. abscessus, whereas both macrolides appear to be equally effective against M. massiliense.
