Abstract
The findings from this study support the relaxation of the diagnostic criteria for the definition of M. kansasii disease, set forth by ATS/IDSA. Molecular typing did not differentiate isolates from patients with true disease from those with isolation only; the role of bacterial virulence factors thus remains elusive.
