Abstract

ABSTRACT Mycobacterium kansasii carrying IS 1245 , a highly prevalent insertion sequence among Mycobacterium avium isolates, was detected in a mixed culture of M. avium and M. kansasii . The insertion sequence was stable and able to transpose by a replicative mechanism in M. kansasii . These findings may have significant implications for molecular diagnosis and treatment outcome.
