Objectives: Rapidly growing mycobacteria have long been neglected in drug discovery efforts and this neglect is reflected in the paucity of therapeutic options available for diseases resulting from these infections. The purpose of this work is to identify new candidate drugs for treating non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) by testing FDA-approved drugs for antimicrobial activity against Mycobacterium abscessus and Mycobacterium chelonae, two emerging NTM drug-resistant pathogens.Methods: In this study, we screened 1040 FDA-approved drugs against M. abscessus and M. chelonae.Results: Of the drugs screened, 32 compounds exhibited significant antimicrobial activity, with an MIC
