Abstract excerpt
Nontuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM) are an important cause of human disease and infections. Though less notorious than tuberculosis, these infections are clinically significant and have been associated with outbreaks in various settings. To accommodate outbreak investigations for the numerous species of NTM, we evaluated a DiversiLab repetitive-sequence-based PCR (rep-PCR) kit for genotyping of mycobacteria. This...
