doi:10.19982/j.issn.1000-6621.20250397

Abstract

Abstract:

Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABC) has high virulence and high drug resistance. The mechanisms of lung injury causing by MABC are complicated, mainly caused by the imbalance of host immune response and abnormal tissue repair. This review summarizes current researches on the mechanisms of MABC-induced lung injury, focusing especially on the roles of excessive inflammatory responses and abnormal repair processes, to identify crucial points of the disease development, to set the stage for more focused researches into particular pathogenic stages.

Key words: Mycobacterium abscessus, Infection, Immunity, Review
