“…Mycobacteria other than M. tuberculosis, particularly MAC, have never been clearly shown to be transmitted among humans (24). The' diseases caused by these mycobacteria range from cervical lymphadenitis to chronic pulmonary mycobacteriosis (G. C. du Moulin, D. Jaciow, D. Teres, and K. D. Stottmeier, Program Abstr.…”

We report a study of 1,953 patients whose laboratory records from 1972 through 1983 at the Massachusetts Mycobacteria Reference Laboratory indicated the isolation of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) organisms. At least one clinical specimen from each patient during this period exhibited the organism. The incidence of isolation of MAC has increased fivefold since 1972, with a doubling of the number of patients with positive MAC specimens from normally sterile sites occurring since 1980. A concomitant increase of more than fourfold in otbier nontuberculous mycobacteria has occurred. Most isolates came from high-density population centers. Communities whose drinking water comes from a distant rather than a local source were more likely to have patients with MAC.

In vitro Susceptibility of Mycobacteria Species Other than <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> to Amikacin, Cephalosporins and Cefoxitin

The susceptibility of different species of mycobacteria, other than M. tuberculosis, to a range of cephalosporins and to amikacin was studied. Susceptibility patterns varied with species. M. fortuitum, M. marinum and M. szulgai were the most susceptible species to amikacin and to cefoxitin, whereas M. kansasii, M. scrojulaceum and MAIS complex the most resistant. Cefoxitin appears to be much more active against mycobacteria than the other cephalosporins used in this study. Most of the cefoxitin-sensitive mycobacteria were inhibited by concentrations which can be easily attained in serum on standard dosage schedules.
