Figure 7. An oxidative environment promotes the intracellular viability of M. abscessus.
A. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) significantly enhanced M. abscessus growth at day 8 post-infection. B. PMA enhanced growth of M. abscessus at days 4 and 8 post-infection; however this increase was not statistically significant. All data represent the mean ± SEM, n=3. The asterisk (*) denotes significant change from the respective control (p< 0.05).
