abstract：:Eight-day-old embryonated hen's eggs were used as a model to study Mycobacterium avium virulence. Strains isolated from human patients caused 20-90% mortality when eggs were infected by injection of bacterial suspensions into the amniotic sac. Virulence of examined strains subsequently decreased with passage through e...
