Quantitative evaluation of Mycobacterium abscessus clinical isolate virulence using a silkworm infection model

Mycobacterium abscessus causes chronic skin infections, lung diseases, and systemic or disseminated infections. Here we investigated whether the virulence of M. abscessus clinical isolates could be evaluated by calculating the median lethal dose (LD(50)) in a silkworm infection model. M. abscessus s...
