Abstract excerpt
Factors that influence colony morphology are of crucial importance for drug development as well as for understanding the virulence of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) strains. The MAC 101 strain used in the present study grows as smooth transparent (SmT) colonies that tend to become opaque and pigmented when incubated for long periods of time. However, when MAC was passaged in animals, two types of colonies were...
