Differentiation of <i>Mycobacterium ulcerans</i> , <i>M. marinum</i> , and <i>M. haemophilum</i> : Mapping of Their Relationships to <i>M. tuberculosis</i> by Fatty Acid Profile Analysis, DNA-DNA Hybridization, and 16S rRNA Gene Sequence Analysis
1 Apr 1998
Abstract excerpt
Although Mycobacterium ulcerans, M. marinum, and M. haemophilum are closely related, their exact taxonomic placements have not been determined. We performed gas chromatography of fatty acids and alcohols, as well as DNA-DNA hybridization and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, to clarify their relationships to each other and to M. tuberculosis. M. ulcerans and M. marinum were most closely related to one another, and...
