Fig. 3

Principal component analysis of the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS) peak lists of M. abscessus complex isolates excluding four discriminating peaks. Diagram of the first three principal components (PCs) of MALDI TOF MS peak lists excluding four discriminating peaks shows the distribution of the isolates of Mycobacterium abscessus (sensu stricto) (blue), M. massiliense (red), and M. bolletii (green)
