Abstract
A Mycobacterium avium typing method based on PCR amplification of genomic sequences located between the recently described repetitive elements IS1245 and IS1311 was developed. This method was applied to a set of epidemiologically related and unrelated strains and compared with restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis with IS1245 as the probe. This PCR typing consists of a rapid and simple technique, providing a reproducible M. avium characterization as discriminant as restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis.Entities:
