Identification of nontuberculous mycobacteria using multilocous sequence analysis of 16S rRNA , hsp65 , and rpoB
23 Feb 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The isolation of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) from clinical specimens has increased, and they now are considered significant opportunistic pathogens. The aims of this study were to develop a database and interpretive criteria for identifying individual species. In addition, using clinical isolates, we evaluated the clinical usefulness of 16S rRNA, hsp65, and rpoB as target genes for this method....
