Use of the word "dranage"[edit]
See the Section of this article entitled: MAC in patients with HIV infection.
In that section is found the word "dranage". Should it not be "drainage"? Contextual quote: "...other bodily fluids such as lymphatic dranage ..." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gloucks (talk • contribs) 00:30, 12 April 2007 (UTC).
I have marked this page as incomplete as there is no section on the pathogenesis of Mycobacterium avium. Illuvator (talk) 10:12, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Hominis?[edit]
Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mycobacterium_avium_complex&diff=prev&oldid=82940607 M. a. subsp. hominussuis was changed to M.a. subsp. hominis! Why?! There is no M.a. subsp. hominis, as far as I know! / D. Herthnek
Species name "avium" is obsolete for M. intracellulare[edit]
The full name should be changed to just Mycobacterium intracellulare; intracellulare has been determined to be a separate species by genetic methods; "M. avium and M. intracellulare are two species, but some serotypes, now designated M. intracellulare, actually belong to M. avium." [1] "M. avium and M. intracellulare are difficult to distinguish by means of biochemical tests and by means of numerical taxonomy. DNA-DNA hybridization confirms that these species are different but indicates that some serovars of M. intracellulare actually belong to the species M.avium..." [2] Those genetic findings are buttressed by proteomic similarity between M. a. avium and another M. a. subspecies, a similarity lacking between that subspecies and M. intracellulare; "Rabbit antisera were raised to some of the strains [of M. avium paratuberculosis;] All were found to be antigenically identical with M. avium and none were found to belong to M. intracellulare." [3].
Also note the proposed species name used by Mycobacterium avium Complex disease listing information from the Center for Disease Control.
