Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare infection (MAI) is an atypical mycobacterial infection, i.e. one with nontuberculous mycobacteria or NTM, caused by Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), which is made of two Mycobacterium species, M. avium and M. intracellulare. [1]
These bacteria cause Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare infections or Mycobacterium avium complex infections in humans. [2] These bacteria are common and are found in fresh and salt water, in household dust and in soil. [3] MAC bacteria usually cause infection in those who are immunocompromised or those with severe lung disease.
Runyon III organisms (nonchromogens) are slow-growing and never produce pigment, regardless of culture conditions.
