Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Comparison of usefulness of IS1245 RFLP and VNTR in M. avium genotyping. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-six cases (55 strains) from sputum and BALF and twelve cases (29 strains) isolated from blood of HIV-infected patients were used. VNTR and RFLP using IS1245 were performed. RESULT: Multiple samples were taken from 16 patients and 52 clinical isolates were used for VNTR and RFLP for comparison. (1)...
