Within this study, a new, rapid method for subtyping of Mycobacterium kansasii was developed based on the sequence analysis of the tuf gene coding for the Tu (thermo-unstable) elongation factor (EF-Tu). The method involves PCR amplification of ca. 740-bp tuf gene fragment, followed by digestion with the Mval restriction endonuclease. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
