Abstract excerpt

In this study, a part of the nucleotide sequence of the mycobacterial 32-kDa protein gene was determined by PCR-based sequencing. A total of 24 mycobacterial strains, representing 10 species, were studied. Sequences of all tested members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex were identical to...
