Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium avium, a member of the group of non-tuberculous mycobacteria, is most often responsible for the serious diseases in humans and is frequently isolated from NTM-caused pulmonary events. In this connection the epidemiological aspect is also of great importance. Here we present a useful genetic assay that uses (CCG)(4)-based PCR for genotyping M. avium. After applying this test to 33 strains of M....
