Strains of the Mycobacterium avium intracellulare complex (MAIC) have become important colonisers of patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Restriction fragment length polymorphisms were used to study the DNA from 88 MAIC isolates, including 51 derived from 47 AIDS patients. MAIC isolates from 33 of 45 AIDS patients were identical at the molecular level and distinct from the mycobacteria isolated from the stools of healthy subjects. The study also showed that serotyping correlates poorly with the genetic identity of these organisms. Mycobacterium paratuberculosis, which has been implicated in Crohn's disease, was not identified in any of the cultures studied.

Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 February 2019.
All research outputs
#22,695,124
of 27,783,697 outputs
Outputs from The Lancet
#43,058
of 46,348 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#55,760
of 57,191 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The Lancet
#96
of 100 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,783,697 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 46,348 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 66.0. This one is in the 2nd percentile – i.e., 2% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 57,191 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 100 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 2nd percentile – i.e., 2% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
