Abstract:
Forty strains of mycobacteria, belonging to Mycobacterium-avium-intracellulare-scrofulaceum complex, isolated from symptomatic respiratory patients, were studied. For such study, agglutination-adsorption technique was applied, using specific antisera elaborated at the "Pedro Kouri" Institute of Tropical Medicine, National Reference Institute, with titers ranging close to 1:320. The results obtained demonstrated that the prevailing types were those of the species Mycobacterium intracellulare (31 strains), prevailing serotypes 9 (Darden), 8 (Davis), 12 (Haweel) and serotype 26 followed by the species M. avium (3 strains) and M. scrofulaceum (2 strains).
