Similarly to other slow-growers that cross-react with the tuberclebacilli using commercial probes, M. kumamotonense is carrying two copies of the ribosomal RNA operon (rrn) pergenome. Analysis of the corresponding rrn regions allowed the identification of sequences putatively involved in thatcross-reactivity.engVoRhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/Mycobacterium kumamotonenseMisidentificationITSrrn operonsMycobacterium kumamotonense, another Member of the Mycobacterium terrae Complex Unusually Carrying Two Copies of the Ribosomal RNA OperonAtribución-NoComercial-CompartirIgual 4.0 Internacional040610.4172/2161-1068.10001762161-1068Mycobacterial Diseasesopen access
