Genotypic characterization of Mycobacterium avium strains recovered from animals and their comparison to human strains

M Bono et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1995 Jan.

Abstract

Mycobacterium avium was recovered from 21 birds and 10 pigs. Bird isolates carried IS901 and a few copies of IS1245 and appeared highly related by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Pig isolates showed features previously described in human isolates: a lack of IS901, a high copy number of IS1245, and marked polymorphism by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.
