Mav

Mav (mycoplasma avium) is a bacterium that can cause serious respiratory infections in humans. It is closely related to other mycoplasma species, such as M. pneumoniae, the cause of “walking” pneumonia. Mav is found in water and soil, and can infect birds, pigs, and other animals as well as humans. It is believed to spread through contaminated food or water, or by direct contact with infected animals. Symptoms of mav infection include fever, coughing, and difficulty breathing. In severe cases, it can lead to pneumonia and even death. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to preventing serious complications from mav infection. There is no specific vaccine for mav infection, but good hygiene practices can help prevent its spread.
