"Mycobacterium avium hominissuis"
Suggested name for Mycobacterium avium avium isolates from humans and pigs.
Based on differences in IS1245 RFLP, 16S-23S rDNA ITS and growth temperature, Mijs et al. 2002 propose to reserve the designation Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium for bird-type isolates. These authors suggest, but not formally propose, the designation "Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis" for the isolates from humans and pigs.
