The final structure of the abscess is an abscess wall, or capsule, that is formed by the adjacent healthy cells in an attempt to keep the pus from infecting neighboring structures. However, such encapsulation tends to prevent immune cells from attacking bacteria in the pus, or from reaching the causative organism or foreign object.

M. abscessus was first isolated from gluteal abscesses in a 62-year-old patient who had injured her knee as a child and had a disseminated infection 48 years later. The species M. bolletii , which was first described in 2006, is named after the late eminent French microbiologist and taxonomist Claude Bollet.

Psoas abscess is a collection of pus in the iliopsoas muscle compartment. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It can be classified into primary psoas abscess (caused by hematogenous or lymphatic spread of a pathogen ) and secondary psoas abscess (resulting from contiguous spread from an adjacent infectious focus).
It is a descriptive term which may be used for inflammation related to a bacterial infection or non-infectious causes (e.g. pancreatitis). Most commonly, it is used in contradistinction to a "walled-off" pus -filled collection ( abscess ), although a phlegmon may progress to an abscess if untreated.
