(A) Kaplan-Meier curve showing mortality within the cohort differentiated by macrolide susceptibility in M. abscessus isolates. Mortality did not differ within the cohort (P = 0.66). (B) Kaplan-Meier curve showing culture conversion differentiated by macrolide susceptibility. Patients with macrolide-susceptible M. abscessus isolates did reach culture conversion significantly more often (P = 0.016). (C) Comparison of vital capacity in patients with macrolide-susceptible and -resistant isolates. Vital capacity was significantly impaired in patients with macrolide-resistant isolates (P = 0.015). (D) Comparison of FEV1 in patients with macrolide-susceptible and -resistant isolates. Here, differences were nonsignificant (P = 0.091).
