Heat inactivation of Mycobacterium avium-Mycobacterium intracellulare complex organisms in aqueous suspension.
Isolants from swine and from humans representing serotypes 1, 2, 4, 8, and 10 of the Mycobacterium avium-Mycobacterium intracellulare complex were compared for heat tolerance in aqueous suspension. The most heat-resistant isolant found was a serovar 10 isolated from a human. This isolant was examined further to determine the rate of kill at various temperatures and pH's, the effect of meat prot...
متن کاملProduction of multivalent fluorescent antisera for identification of organisms in the Mycobacterium avium-Mycobacterium intracellulare complex.
Antisera to ten strains of mycobacteria in the Mycobacterium avium-Mycobacterium intracellulare group were obtained by injecting rabbits with ultraviolet light-killed cells. The antisera were conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate and used in the direct fluorescent antibody test. Individual antisera reacted specifically with the mycobacterial serotype used to produce them. The antisera were...
متن کاملRadiology of pulmonary Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex.
Although the radiographic appearance of pulmonary MAC infection in the immunocompetent host can be varied, there are several generalizations that can be made. The classic radiographic appearance is indistinguishable from that of pulmonary tuberculosis. The classic form is seen most commonly in males and is typically associated with other predisposing diseases, especially chronic obstructive pul...
متن کاملMycobacterium Avium-intracellulare Sinusitis.
M ycobacterium avium-intracellulare (MAI) sinusitis is rarely diagnosed. There are only nine previous cases documented in the literature, most of which are in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Awareness of MAI sinusitis may prove valuable to the practicing otolaryngologist, and an elevated index of suspicion is necessary in all immunocompromised patients with sinusitis, ...
متن کاملMolecular Study of Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare Complex Strains
It is difficult to distinguish between clinically significant slowly-growing, non-pigmented mycobacteria, notably to separate M. aviumand M. intracellulare from one another and from M. scrofulaceum strains. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the extent to which 16S rRNA sequencing could be used to highlight the taxonomic relationships of the mycobacterial strains, which are difficult to ...
