Abstract
We compared liquid (BACTEC 12B) and solid culture media for the diagnosis of Mycobacterium avian complex (MAC) bacteremia among 258 AIDS patients with a positive blood culture. Neither culture media alone had adequate sensitivity; BACTEC 12B detected growth earlier. Use of both liquid and solid media may improve the yield of mycobacterial blood culture.
