Abstract

ABSTRACT IS 6110 is an insertion element found exclusively within the members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), and because of this exclusivity, it has become an important diagnostic tool in the identification of MTBC species. The restriction of IS 6110 to the MTBC is hypothesized to arise from the inability of these bacteria to exchange DNA. We have identified an IS 6110 -related element in a strain of Mycobacterium smegmatis. The presence of IS 6110 indicates that lateral gene transfer has occurred among mycobacterial species, suggesting that the mycobacterial gene pool is larger than previously suspected.
