Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis, ubiquitous environmental mycobacterium, is an opportunistic pathogen that is regularly isolated from pigs and humans in Slovenia. Genetic diversity of 114 isolates from pigs (n = 57) and humans (n = 57), identified by means of bacteriology, DNA-RNA hybridization techniques, IS901 PCR and IS1245 PCR, was investigated in this study, using IS1245 restriction fragment length...
