Abstract
The serovars of clinical isolates of Mycobacterium avium complex from 24 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and 140 non-AIDS patients in Sweden were studied by using type-specific antisera. A wide distribution of serovars was seen. Serovar 6 was predominant in both groups of patients, isolated from 33 and 16% of the AIDS and non-AIDS patients, respectively. The results indicate geographical as well as disease-related differences in the distribution of M. avium complex serovars of clinical importance.
