mutation	A permanent change in the genetic material of a cell or microorganism. Some mutations can be transmitted when the cell or microorganism replicates. Some HIV mutations cause the virus to become resistant to certain antiretroviral (ARV) drugs.

mycobacterium avium complex	MAC
Mycobacterium Avium Complex (MAC) Infection	An infection caused by a group of bacteria called Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) MAC include Mycobacterium avium, Mycobacterium intracellulare, and other similar Mycobacteria. MAC bacteria can be found in drinking water, dirt, and household dust. MAC infection usually starts in the lungs and intestines, but can spread throughout the body (disseminated) Symptoms of disseminated MAC infection include fever, night sweats, weight loss, abdominal pain, fatigue, and diarrhea. Most people with healthy immune systems are not affected by the bacteria. In people infected with HIV, MAC infection that is outside of the lungs (extrapulmonary) or that has disseminated is an AIDS-defining condition.

Mycobacterium Avium-Intracellulare (MAI) Infection	An infection caused by two closely related and hard-to-distinguish bacteria, Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium intracellulare. These two bacteria can be found in drinking water, dirt, and household dust. Most people are not affected by the bacteria, but for people with severely weakened immune systems, the bacteria can cause infection. M. intracellulare tends to cause lung disease, and M. avium tends to spread throughout the body (disseminated) Symptoms of disseminated Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare (MAI) infection include fever, night sweats, weight loss, abdominal pain, fatigue, and diarrhea. In people infected with HIV, MAI infection that is outside of the lungs (extrapulmonary) or that has disseminated is an AIDS-defining condition.

mycobacterium Kansasii infection	An infection caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium kansasii. The bacteria can be found in water, dirt, and food. M. kansasii usually infects the lungs, but can also infect other organs and/or can spread throughout the body (disseminated) Most people with healthy immune systems are not affected by the bacteria. In people infected with HIV, M. kansasii infection that is outside of the lungs (extrapulmonary) or that has disseminated is an AIDS-defining condition.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis	The bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB) Mycobacterium tuberculosis usually infects the lungs, but it can also infect other parts of the body, such as the kidneys, spine, and brain. M. tuberculosis is spread when a person with an active infection coughs, sneezes, speaks, or sings, and then a person nearby breathes in the bacteria.
