Prospecting Environmental Mycobacteria: Combined Molecular Approaches Reveal Unprecedented Diversity

18 Jul 2013

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Environmental mycobacteria (EM) include species commonly found in various terrestrial and aquatic environments, encompassing animal and human pathogens in addition to saprophytes. Approximately 150 EM species can be separated into fast and slow growers based on sequence and copy number differences of their 16S rRNA genes. Cultivation methods are not appropriate for diversity studies; few studies have...
