To delineate the epidemiology of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patients, we studied 32 case patients with disseminated MAC infection who attended the same daycare facility during a period of 13 months. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis showed very low similarity between MAC strains, suggesting that, despite close contacts between the patients, nosocomial cross-transmission or exposure to a common source of MAC did not occur.
为了描述获得性免疫缺陷综合征患者中鸟分枝杆菌复合体（MAC）感染的流行病学特征，我们研究了32例播散性MAC感染的病例患者，这些患者在13个月的时间里都在同一家日托机构就诊。脉冲场凝胶电泳分析显示MAC菌株之间的相似性非常低，这表明尽管患者之间有密切接触，但医院内交叉传播或暴露于共同的MAC来源并未发生。
