龟脓肿分枝杆菌群的生物体可能是人类的重要病原体。它们会产生多种疾病，包括急性、侵袭性和慢性感染，这些疾病可能难以正确诊断。由于区分至少十一 (11) 个已知物种和亚种以及识别方法的复杂性，该群体成员的识别变得复杂。由于正确的物种鉴定、抗生素耐药性、对有限数量的可用药物的不同敏感性以及药敏试验的缺乏，其感染的治疗可能存在问题。 (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
Organisms of the Mycobacterium chelonae-abscessus group can be significant pathogens in humans. They produce a number of diseases including acute, invasive and chronic infections, which may be difficult to diagnose correctly. Identification among members of this group is complicated by differentiating at least eleven (11) known species and subspecies and complexity of identification methodologies. Treatment of their infections may be problematic due to their correct species identification, antibiotic resistance, their differential susceptibility to the limited number of drugs available, and scarcity of susceptibility testing.
