Overview
Mycobacterium abscessus (M. abscessus) was first isolated in 1953 from gluteal abscesses in a 62-year-old patient who had injured her knee as a child and had a disseminated infection 48 years later.[1] It was until 1992 that M. abscessus is considered a separate organism from Mycobacterium chelonae. The species M. bolletii, named after the late microbiologist and taxonomist Claude Bollet, was described in 2006. In current taxonomy, M. bolletii and M. massiliense (named for Massilia, the ancient Greek and Roman name for Marseille, where the organism was isolated) have been incorporated into M. abscessus subsp. bolletii. [2][3]
