FIG 3

Alignment of partial 16S rRNA gene sequence (positions 180 to 227) for M. tuberculosis (1), the patient's novel NTM isolate (2), M. celatum type 1 (3), M. terrae strain (4), and M. marinum (5). The grayed sequence is the target for the commercial M. tuberculosis complex DNA probe (Gen-Probe) between positions 188 and 207 of the 16S rRNA sequence. Nucleotides highlighted in yellow are differences in the 16S rRNA sequence of the NTM species (2 to 5) from that of M. tuberculosis (1). Dashes indicate deletions.
