Isolates of the Mycobacterium avium complex were examined for hemolysin expression. Only invasive isolates of M. avium were observed to be hemolytic (P < 0.001), with activity the greatest for isolates of serovars 4 and 8. Thus, M. avium hemolysin appears to represent a virulence factor necessary for invasive disease.
对鸟分枝杆菌复合体的分离株进行溶血素表达检测。仅观察到鸟分枝杆菌的侵袭性分离株具有溶血活性(P < 0.001),其中血清型4和8的分离株活性最强。因此,鸟分枝杆菌溶血素似乎是侵袭性疾病所必需的一种毒力因子。
