Options for treating disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) disease have improved. However, efficacy is not always certain, resistance is common and rapidly bactericidal agents would improve efficacy and prevent resistance. Certain oxazolidinones were tested against MAC strains and inhibited growth at expected serum concentrations or lower. Activity correlated with hydrophobicity and one agent was bactericidal at concentrations two to five times greater than the MIC.

D015269 Mycobacterium avium Complex A complex that includes several strains of M. avium. M. intracellulare is not easily distinguished from M. avium and therefore is included in the complex. These organisms are most frequently found in pulmonary secretions from persons with a tuberculous-like mycobacteriosis. Strains of this complex have also been associated with childhood lymphadenitis and AIDS; M. avium alone causes tuberculosis in a variety of birds and other animals, including pigs.
