Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To clarify the genetic microheterogeneity of Mycobacterium lentiflavum and identify the predominant genotype. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Clinical isolates of M. lentiflavum used in this study were obtained from sixteen patients of lung diseases. In order to assess their intraspecies variability, four gene fragments, from the 16S rDNA (1471 bp), 16S-23S ITS (282 bp), rpoB (306 bp), and hsp65 (401 bp), were...
