The distribution of Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC) in residences was examined. MAC was only recovered from bathrooms but not from other sites of residences. The appearance ratio in the bathrooms of patients with pulmonary MAC was significantly higher than that in healthy volunteers' bathrooms (P=.01). For 2 patients, the genotypes of environmental isolates were identical to their respective clinical isolates.
对鸟分枝杆菌胞内菌复合群(MAC)在住宅中的分布进行了检查。MAC仅在浴室中被检出,而在住宅的其他场所未被检出。肺部MAC患者浴室中的出现率显著高于健康志愿者浴室中的出现率(P = 0.01)。对于2名患者,环境分离株的基因型与其各自的临床分离株相同。
