Listen Later

Infections caused by Mycobacterium abscessus appear to be increasing in frequency among the immunocompromised population and are challenging to treat. Antibiotic options in these cases are scarce, prolonged therapy is required and new options are needed. We will discuss this important topic with experts in the field.

Topics discussed:
  • Define M. abscessus as an opportunistic pathoge
  • The intrinsic phenotypic characteristics of M. abscessus, including resistance to common antimicrobials
  • Treatment approaches and rationale for these strategies
Guests:
  • Kelly Dooley, MD. PhD, MPH.  Professor of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University and Editor of AAC
  • Charles L. Daley, MD, Professor and Chief of the Division of Mycobacterial and Respiratory Infections. National Jewish Health
  • Thomas Dick, PhD. Professor, Center for Discovery and Innovation, Hackensack Meridian Health
