The reasons for the significant increase in MAB infections in the non-cystic fibrosis (CF) populations are poorly understood. The study aimed to elucidate whether this increase is related to the spread of the globally successful clone of MAB.en[SDGs]SDG3Longitudinal non-cystic fibrosis trends of pulmonary Mycobacterium abscessus disease from 2010 to 2017: spread of the "globally successful clone" in Asiajournal article10.1183/23120541.00191-202033532483
