This paper describes a Mycobacterium intracellulare variant strain causing an unusual infection. Several isolates obtained from an immunocompromised patient were identified as members of the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) by the commercial AccuProbe system and biochemical standard identification.

Up to seven different genomic sequences were analyzed, ranging from conserved mycobacterial genes su ...[more]
