Identification of various serovar strains of Mycobacterium avium complex by using DNA probes specific for Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium intracellulare.
Reference strains of the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) belonging to serovars 1 to 28 were examined with DNA probes (Gen Probe Rapid Diagnostic System for the MAC; Gen Probe Inc., San Diego, Calif.) specific for either M. avium or Mycobacterium intracellulare. This study revealed that the earlier designations of the MAC serovars, in which serovars 1 to 3 and 4 to 28 were regarded as M. avium...
متن کاملIdentification and partial characterization of Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium intracellulare by using DNA probes.
We attempted to identify the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) isolated in Japan by using DNA probes specific for M. avium or Mycobacterium intracellulare (Gen-Probe Rapid Diagnostic System for MAC; Gen-Probe, Inc., San Diego, Calif.). The source and drug susceptibility distributions were examined. This assay system proved to be rapid, sensitive, specific, and reliable for identification of MAC...
متن کاملEvaluation of acridinium-ester-labeled DNA probes for identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium-Mycobacterium intracellulare complex in culture.
The detectability of mycobacteria in culture by the use of nonisotopic, chemiluminescent DNA probes for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the M. avium-M. intracellulare complex (MAC) was evaluated and compared with that by the use of 125I-labeled DNA probes for the same mycobacteria. In the assay, rRNA-directed DNA probes labeled with acridinium ester (AE-DNA probes) were used. Unhybridized probes...
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 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...
