Hello Bonnie and Welcome to the MAC & Bronchiectasis group.
We have discussions of M Abscessus in several places here, but the most recent active one is
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/now-infected-with-mycobacterium-abscessus/

HERE IS A SEARCH TIP FOR EVERYONE! Connect kindly had this lovely feature added a few months ago to help us find relevant info more easily.
Scroll to the top of this discussion, and click on "< C & Bronchiectasis" you will move up to the main page for our Support Group. The search box there directs you just to discussions inside our own group, not all of Connect. You can type in "Abscessus" and a list of all our own posts containing the term will show. Each one also tells you how recently there was activity in that discussion.
Let me know if this helps you
Sue
