Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection treatment often includes a combination of antibiotics to effectively combat the infection. Clarithromycin (A) and Azithromycin (B) are macrolide antibiotics commonly used as part of the treatment regimen for MAC. Ethambutol (C) is another antibiotic that is frequently included to prevent or delay the development of resistance. Rifabutin (E) is also used in the treatment of MAC, especially in patients with HIV, to prevent and treat MAC infections. Isoniazid (D), however, is primarily used for the treatment of tuberculosis and is not typically used for MAC infections.
