MAC infections are "slow to grow and slow to go". 2 weeks of treatment won't do the job - the sputum culture needs to be sensitivity tested to see which antibiotics it will respond to, and treatment needs to continue 6 - 12 months after there is no more bacteria in the culture.
I was treated with Azithromycin, Ethambutol ANF Rifampin for 19 months, and yes, I am well past 60.
