Abstract
We evaluated the associations between the in vitro activities of ethambutol and rifampin and clinical outcomes of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) pulmonary disease (PD). Among 158 patients with MAC-PD, there was no relationship between high MICs for ethambutol and/or rifampin and treatment failure for MAC-PD. Ethambutol and rifampin resistance was common among MAC isolates (rates of 87% and 59%, respectively), but mutations in embB, rpoB, and rpoC were rare, with detection in only 4% of the drug-resistant MAC isolates.Entities:
