Modification of Results of Drug Susceptibility Tests by Coexistence of Mycobacterium avium Complex with Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a Sputum Sample: Case Report and Experimental Considerations

We report on a patient whose sputum contained both Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). The MAC failed to be detected by the PCR-based AMPLICOR test.
