<i>Mycobacterium abscessus</i> Complex Infections Among Lung Transplant Recipients: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study in Canada
M. abscessus is an uncommon cause of infection among LTRs. Survival among those with pretransplant M. abscessus infection was similar to that observed in noninfected LTRs. However, lack of eradication before transplantation was associated with higher posttransplant disease and mortality.
