A novel insertion element from Mycobacterium avium, IS1245, is a specific target for analysis of strain relatedness
1 Feb 1995
Abstract excerpt
The insertion sequence IS1245 is a novel mycobacterial repetitive element identified in Mycobacterium avium. It encodes a transposase which exhibits a 64% amino acid similarity with IS1081, an insertion element present in the M. tuberculosis complex. The host range of IS1245 appears limited to M. avium as this element was not identified in M. intracellulare or in any other of 18 mycobacteria species tested. When...
