Strain typing of the Mycobacterium avium complex

Journal of Infection, 1999
The Mycobacteriurn aviuin complex (MAC) comprises a heterogeneous group of closely related acid-fast organisms which includes M. aviurn. 1LI. intracellulare, M. avium subsp. paratuDerculosis @I. a. paratuberculosis), the agent of paratuberculosis (Johne’s disease) of ruminants, and M. lepraenruriunr, the agent of murine leprosy. Although ill.

Identification of Mycobacterium avium complex in sarcoidosis

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1996
Cell wall-defective bacteria which later reverted to acid-fast bacilli have been isolated from sarcoid tissue. These have not been conclusively shown to be mycobacteria. Specific PCR assays were applied to identify mycobacterial nucleic acids in these cultured isolates and in fresh specimens obtained from patients with sarcoidosis.

Mycobacterium avium Complex Infection

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1988
NOTrE FROM DR. MERLE A. SANDE The issues addressed in this AIDS Commentary are complex ones. Are organisms that constitute the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) significant pathogens in the patients infected with HIV? If they are, how should these infections in this population of patients be treated? Dr. Lowell S.

Pacemaker Infection with Mycobacterium Avium Complex

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 1991
A 21 ‐year‐old, HIV negative, malnourished, homeless woman with congenital heart block had a pacemaker implanted at 7 years of age and multiple procedures thereafter. The most recent of these procedures was replacement of a pulse generator in the right pectoral region.

Radiometric Quantification of Mycobacterium avium Complex

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 1998
The purpose of this study was to establish a system that would allow rapid and reliable quantification of Mycobacterium avium complex infection with a method that was as sensitive as counting of colony-forming units but less time-consuming and safer in the laboratory.

Treatment and prophylaxis of Mycobacterium avium complex

International Journal of STD & AIDS, 1996
The most common pathogens involved in disseminated bacterial infection in people with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) are organisms of the Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC). Azithromycin and clarithromycin, a new azalide and macrolide, respectively, are among the most potent monotherapies for MAC bacteraemia, although many ...

Mycobacterium avium complex: Advances in therapy

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 1994
Disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is one of the most common opportunistic infections in AIDS patients and is increasingly recognized as a significant pathogen in chronic pulmonary disease in nonimmunocompromised patients. Important progress in therapy has occurred over the last several years.

Treatment of Mycobacterium avium Complex (MAC)

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2018
Abstract Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is the most commonly isolated nontuberculous mycobacterial respiratory pathogen worldwide. MAC lung disease is manifested either by fibrocavitary radiographic changes similar to pulmonary tuberculosis or by bronchiectasis with nodular and reticulonodular radiographic changes.

Mycobacterium avium Complex

1996
Abstract is a mycobacterial organism found throughout nature in water and soil. The specific strains responsible for most human disease, however, are not the most common environmental isolates, suggesting differential levels of strain virulence.

Mechanism of mycobacterium avium complex pathogenesis

Frontiers in Bioscience, 1998
Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) group of microorganisms are the most common opportunistic bacterial pathogens causing disseminated disease in HIV infected patients. These microorganisms are ubiquitous in nature, and are acquired by respiratory and oral routes.
