Fig. 1: Timeline of case study and strain comparisons.

A A timeline is shown of the course of treatments for the patient described in this study, with day 0 corresponding to the time of diagnosis and intervals of each 50 days post-diagnosis (pd) shown. Key events are noted, including the times of strain isolations (shown in red text), PET imaging (shown in blue text), and other clinical events (shown in green text). The duration of antibiotic and phage treatments (colored for distinction) are shown below and above the timeline, respectively. B Phylogenetic relationships of M. abscessus strains indicating dominant circulating clones (DDC) 1 to 7 as described previously50. Strains GD276A, GD276B, and GD272 are all members of DDC7.
