Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) comprises at least ten named species of environmental mycobacteria that exhibit ecological and geographic diversity. The prominent human pathogens are M. avium, M. intracellulare, and M. chimaera. MAC virulence factors and host susceptibility contribute to pathogenesis. ...
The majority (≥90%) of disseminated MAC disease is caused byM. avium.Overall,M. intracellulareis isolated about as frequently asM. avium, but the isolation ofM. aviumhas been associated with a poorer prognosis. Other species should be considered for symptomatic patients as well, such asM. trip...
