Mycobacterium avium complex is a group of mycobacteria comprising Mycobacterium intracellulare and Mycobacterium avium that are commonly grouped because they infect humans together; this group, in turn, is part of the group of nontuberculous mycobacteria. These bacteria cause Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare infections or Mycobacterium avium complex infections in humans.[2] These bacteria are common and are found in fresh and salt water, in household dust and in soil.[3] MAC bacteria usually cause infection in those who are immunocompromised or those with severe lung disease.
