Characterization of the virulence of <i>Mycobacterium avium</i> complex (MAC) isolates in mice
1 Nov 1994
Abstract excerpt
The virulence of different isolates of MAC was studied in naturally susceptible BALB/c mice. In preliminary experiments, MAC bacteria forming smooth transparent colonies on solid media (SmT variants) were found to be virulent for BALB/c mice, causing progressive infection; smooth opaque (SmOp) were generally avirulent, being slowly eliminated from the infected organs; and rough (Rg) variants were either avirulent...
