The detection of Mycobacterium abscessus in sputum should be given high priority. The bacterium is highly resistant to drugs, and the correct antibiotic should be selected based on drug sensitivity tests for targeted treatment.
Mycobacterium abscessus is a multidrug-resistant bacterium, the disease develops rapidly and can lead to widespread infection, and clinically, ordinary antibiotic treatment is mostly ineffective. Generally, it is necessary to carry out the culture of the bacteria and drug sensitivity test, according to the results of drug sensitivity, so as to find the targeted sensitive drugs for the bacteria.
Symptoms of infection with this organism are severe and require an adequate course of antibiotic therapy. Mycobacterium abscessus can be cured, but care must be taken to diagnose it early to avoid delaying the course of the disease.
If Mycobacterium abscessus is detected by sputum culture, it is recommended to visit the hospital for early and regular treatment.
