The hypothesis that eating pork from animals infected with organisms of the Mycobacterium avium-intracellular complex is a significant cause of human mycobacteriosis was examined by skin testing students with purified protein derivative from M. intracellulare to determine their sensitivity to M. avium-intracellulare. No significant differences in sensitivity could be demonstrated between those individuals who had never eaten pork and those who ate pork routinely. It was concluded that sensitivity to purified protein derivative from M. intracellulare in this population did not involve eating pork.
食用感染鸟分枝杆菌-胞内分枝杆菌复合体微生物的动物的猪肉是人类分枝杆菌病的一个重要病因，这一假说通过用胞内分枝杆菌的纯化蛋白衍生物对学生进行皮肤测试来检验，以确定他们对鸟分枝杆菌-胞内分枝杆菌的敏感性。在从未吃过猪肉的个体和经常吃猪肉的个体之间，未发现敏感性有显著差异。得出的结论是，该人群对胞内分枝杆菌纯化蛋白衍生物的敏感性与食用猪肉无关。
