摘要
One of the most relevant and pathogenic groups among the rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) is Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABC) that includes three subspecies: M. abscessus subsp. abscessus, M. abscessus subsp. bolletii, and M. abscessus subsp. massiliense. The aim of this study was the analysis of prevalence of MABC among other non-tuberculous mycobacteria isolated from patients in the Malopolska Region of Poland, between 2018 and 2021, as well as determination of their subspecies and molecular mechanisms of resistance to macrolides and aminoglycosides. The incidence of MABC was 5,4% (12/223). Eight strains were classified as M. abscessus subsp. abscessus, three as M. abscessus subsp. massiliense and one M. abscessus subsp. bolletii. Molecular analysis showed resistance to macrolides for eight strains of M. abscessus subsp. abscessus associated with erm(41)T28 gene mutations. One strain of M. abscessus subsp. abscessus showed resistance to macrolides (two mutations simultaneously: in erm(41)T28 and rrl genes) and aminoglycosides (point mutation in rrs gene). One strain of M. abscessus subs. bolletii was resistant to macrolides (erm(41)T28 mutation), whereas presented no mutations for aminoglycosides. M. abscessus subsp. massiliense reveal no mutations. High clarithromycin resistance of M. abscessus, determines the urgent need for susceptibility-based treatment. Molecular determination of resistance mechanisms to aminoglycosides and macrolides enables fast and accurate targeted treatment implementation.
