Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) causes disease in both humans and swine; however, the genetic variations in MAH isolates are unclear. The aim of this study was to elucidate the genetic variations in MAH isolates from humans and swine in Japan. We analysed the 16S-23S rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence and variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs) using the Mycobacterium avium tandem...
