Abstract excerpt
The rnpB gene encodes for the RNA subunit of the catalytic ribonuclease RNase P and is present in all bacteria and has both conserved and highly variable sequence regions. Determination of rnpB in 35 Mycobacterium spp. showed species specific sequences for all species except the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (four species). High sequence variation was seen in the P3, P15 and P19 regions of suggested...
