Abstract |
The MICs and MBCs of paromomycin for 32 Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) strains isolated from patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome were determined by a radiometric broth dilution method. The MICs for the majority of strains were either 8 or 16 mg/L and the MBCs were four- to eight-fold higher. Paromomycin merits further evaluation as oral prophylaxis against disseminated MAC infection.
