Extended Data Fig. 9: Association of M. abscessus MICs with individual patient outcomes.

(a) MIC distributions of 229 clinical isolates and the frequency of isolates associated with cleared (n = 46) and persisting infection (n = 89). (b) Odds ratios of M. abscessus minimum inhibitory concentrations for predicting treatment failures (lack of culture conversion) in 135 patients. Odds ratios of individual MIC measures were assessed with logistic regression (clarithromycin: P = 0.0019; clarithromycin inducible: P = 0.0045). Each dot represents the odds ratio, and whiskers highlight the 95% confidence interval. ** indicates the two-sided P < 0.01.
