Utility of IS1245-IS1311 based PCR typing system for Mycobacterium avium isolates obtained from clinical and environmental sources

In the present study, twenty four Mycobacterium avium isolates obtained from clinical (sputum) and environmental (water and soil) samples were analyzed by a PCR typing method.
