摘要：
Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) strains from AIDS and non-AIDS patients and from the environment were studied for their colony morphology and virulence in beige mice. The majority of the MAC isolates from AIDS patients, in contrast to those from non-AIDS patients and the environment, showed increased virulence. Similarly, the majority of the MAC isolates from AIDS patients formed smooth transparent (ST) colonies, whereas most of the non-AIDS isolates formed smooth opaque (SO) or intermediate (IM) type of colonies. MAC isolates from the same AIDS patient obtained at different times were found to be heterogenic with respect to serotype, RFLP and glycolipid patterns, suggesting that these patients might be infected with more than one strain of MAC. © 1994 Academic Press.
