Minimum inhibitory concentration distributions for Mycobacterium avium complex—towards evidence-based susceptibility breakpoints
7 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Patients with clinical infections caused by the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) are treated for at least 1 year following sputum conversion with a regimen that suffers from a suboptimal cure rate. The correlation between clinical outcome and drug susceptibility testing breakpoints other than for the macrolides is regarded to be poor. A systematic evaluation of clinical breakpoints for MAC has not...
