Comparative genomic analysis of Mycobacterium avium subspecies obtained from multiple host species
1 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mycobacterium avium (M. avium) subspecies vary widely in both pathogenicity and host specificity, but the genetic features contributing to this diversity remain unclear. RESULTS: A comparative genomic approach was used to identify large sequence polymorphisms among M. avium subspecies obtained from a variety of host animals. DNA microarrays were used as a platform for comparing mycobacterial isolates...
