We report on a patient whose sputum contained both Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). The MAC failed to be detected by the PCR-based AMPLICOR test. The unrecognized coexistence of MAC in the sample modified the results of drug susceptibility tests. Experiments revealed that the presence of both M. tuberculosis and MAC was not detected by the AMPLICOR test under certain conditions.
我们报告了一名患者,其痰液中同时含有结核分枝杆菌和鸟分枝杆菌复合群(MAC)。基于PCR的AMPLICOR检测未能检测到MAC。样本中未被识别的MAC共存改变了药敏试验结果。实验表明,在某些条件下,AMPLICOR检测未检测到结核分枝杆菌和MAC同时存在的情况。
