    Journal: Comp Immunol Microbiol Infect Dis; 1997 Jun; 20(3):233-9. PubMed ID: 9280390.
    Abstract:
    The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to identify reference and field strains of mycobacteria. PCR was able to identify all the reference strains of the Mycobacterium genus and sub-divide them into no Tuberculosis-no Avium complex, Tuberculosis complex and, partially, Avium complex. The primers used for the last recognised only some strains of the different types of M. avium and M. intracellulare. A number of field strains were identified as belonging to the Mycobacterium genus, but further research is required for a complete sub-division into Tuberculosis complex and Avium complex.
