Identification of Mycobacterium avium genotypes with distinctive traits by combination of IS1245-based restriction fragment length polymorphism and restriction analysis of hsp65.

Abstract excerpt

One-hundred eight Mycobacterium avium isolates from pigs, humans, birds, and bovines were typed by the IS1245-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method and PCR-restriction enzyme analysis (PRA) of hsp65. Nine clusters of isolates showing more than 80% similarity in their RFLP profiles were detected. The largest cluster (cluster B) included 32 of 79 pig isolates (40.5%), 3 of 25 human isolates...
