Whole-genome phylogenetic analysis of Mycobacterium avium complex from clinical respiratory samples by Chew Ka Lip, Joelle Go, Nur Aisyah Binte Abu Bakar, Sophie Octavia, Raymond Tzer Pin Lin, Jeanette W. P. Teo

“…Of the entire cohort, only one isolate was found to have a A2059G 23S rRNA (rrl) gene mutation responsible for macrolide resistance.IMPORTANCEMycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infections are increasingly challenging to manage due to their complex species diversity and varied resistance patterns. This study underscores the genetic diversity within MAC, identifying at least eight species and subspecies among 203 clinical isolates, with M. avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) being most prevalent at 72.9%. …”
