We compared 33 subjects with MAC pulmonary disease to 75 subjects with a single positive culture without disease. M. avium isolates were significantly more likely to be associated with MAC pulmonary disease (odds ratio = 5.14, 95% confidence interval = 1.25 to 22.73) than M. intracellulare.Journal of clinical microbiologyAssociation between 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer sequence groups of Mycobacterium avium complex and pulmonary disease.PMC2519484P30 AI051445P30 AI51445T32 AI007392AI07392K23 AI051409Hamilton CDReller LBHopkins GWStout JEFrothingham RQuinn AMcDonald JR53falseAssociation between 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer sequence groups of Mycobacterium avium complex and pulmonary disease.Organisms within the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) may have differential virulence.
