چکیده

it is difficult to distinguish between clinically significant slowly-growing, non-pigmented mycobacteria, notably to separate m. aviumand m. intracellulare from one another and from m. scrofulaceum strains. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the extent to which 16s rrna sequencing could be used to highlight the taxonomic relationships of the mycobacterial strains, which are difficult to separate using conventional microbiologic methods. almost the complete sequences of the 16s rrna of several m. avium-intracellulare complex strains were determined following the isolation and direct sequencing of the amplified genes. the sequences were aligned with those of previously studied mycobacteria, and phylogenetic trees inferred by using the fitch-magoliash, neighbour-joining and maximum parsimony methods. it is evident from the result of the current study that the nucleotide signature regions of 16s rrna provide valuable information for the differentiation of m.avium-intracellulare complex strains.

Review: The Molecular Basis of Resistance in Mycobaterium tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is a serious global public health problem and its high prevalence is strongly associated with the increase of drug resistance. This steady increase in the frequency of M. tuberculosis strains resistant to one or more agents commonly used to treat tuberculosis has drawn worldwide attention to understanding the molecular basis of resistance in M. tuberculosis. TB resistance is a grea...

Identification of various serovar strains of Mycobacterium avium complex by using DNA probes specific for Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium intracellulare.

Reference strains of the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) belonging to serovars 1 to 28 were examined with DNA probes (Gen Probe Rapid Diagnostic System for the MAC; Gen Probe Inc., San Diego, Calif.) specific for either M. avium or Mycobacterium intracellulare. This study revealed that the earlier designations of the MAC serovars, in which serovars 1 to 3 and 4 to 28 were regarded as M. avium...
