Identification of Mycobacterium spp. of veterinary importance using rpoB gene sequencing
1 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Studies conducted on Mycobacterium spp. isolated from human patients indicate that sequencing of a 711 bp portion of the rpoB gene can be useful in assigning a species identity, particularly for members of the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). Given that MAC are important pathogens in livestock, companion animals, and zoo/exotic animals, we were interested in evaluating the use of rpoB sequencing for...
