 == Revise, respecting MAI are two species == 

 The community, including the page's first reference, have reached consensus that MAI is really two species avium and intracellulare.  Therefore content such as ""It is a saprotrophic organism..."" is inappropriate.  This page might best be renamed MAC - mycobacterium avium complex infection.  MAC is more commonly used than MAI.
