This study is a single-center, open-label clinical trial designed to evaluate the early bactericidal activity (EBA) of sitafloxacin against Mycobacterium abscessus disease. Patients with Mycobacterium abscessus disease were enrolled and treated with sitafloxacin monotherapy for 14 days. Colony forming units (CFU) and time to positivity (TTP) in sputum cultures were analyzed and compared. By assessing the impact of sitafloxacin monotherapy on the bacteria in the sputum of patients with Mycobacterium abscessus disease, the early bactericidal activity of sitafloxacin was evaluated, providing a basis for the selection of new drugs for the treatment of Mycobacterium abscessus disease.
