 AB    Danish isolates of Mycobacterium avium complex were serotyped by the use
       of seroagglutination. The most prevalent serovars among patients with
       AIDS (n = 89) were 4 and 6, while among non-AIDS patients the most
       prevalent serovars were 1, 6, and 4, with no major differences between
       those in patients with pulmonary disease (n = 65) and those in patients
       with lymph node infection (n = 58). The results suggest a Scandinavian
       distribution of serovars with a predominance of serovar 6 and fail to
       demonstrate any selective protection against different serovars by
       Mycobacterium bovis BCG vaccination.
