Identification of Mycobacterium using the EF-Tu encoding (tuf) gene and the tmRNA encoding (ssrA) gene

20 Jul 2007

Abstract excerpt

The partial nucleotide sequences encoding the elongation factor Tu (tuf gene) (652 bp) and transfer-mRNA (tmRNA or ssrA gene) (340 bp) were determined to assess the suitability of these two genes as phylogenetic markers for the classification of mycobacteria, and thus as alternative target molecules for identifying mycobacteria. A total of 125 reference strains of the genus Mycobacterium and 74 clinical isolates...
