Abstract:
A rapid method has been standardized for extraction and SDS-PAGE analyses of mycobacterial cellular protein. Complex patterns were reproducibly obtained of the 31 reference strains or clinical isolates studied, belonging to 11 species. These patterns were species specific; thus this method could be an easy tool for mycobacterial strain characterization.
