Hemolysin as a virulence factor for systemic infection with isolates of Mycobacterium avium complex.

J N Maslow1, D Dawson, E A Carlin, S M Holland.   

Abstract

Isolates of the Mycobacterium avium complex were examined for hemolysin expression. Only invasive isolates of M. avium were observed to be hemolytic (P < 0.001), with activity the greatest for isolates of serovars 4 and 8. Thus, M. avium hemolysin appears to represent a virulence factor necessary for invasive disease.
