Table 2. The frequency of the two hsp65 genotypes (Type I and Type II) determined by hsp65 sequence analysis and Hinf I PRA methods, and the two colony morphotypes (rough and smooth) among 65 M. massiliense clinical strains.
| Hinf I PRA | Colony morphotype | ||||
| hsp65 genotypea | No. (%)b | 366, 278 | 280, 86, 278 | Rough | Smooth |
| Type I | 35 (30.1) | 35 (100.0) | 0 (0.0) | 12 (34.3) | 23 (65.7) |
| Type II | 30 (27.4) | 0 (0.0) | 30 (100.0) | 30 (100.0) | 0 (0.0) |
a
The hsp65 genotypes were determined by hsp65 sequence analysis (603-bp).
b
The percentage was calculated among M. massiliense strains.
