| Remarks: |
16S rRNA sequences from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. avium, M. gastri, M. kansasii, M. marinum, M. chelonae, M. smegmatis, M. terrae, M. gordonae, M. scrofulaceum, M. szulgai, M. intracellulare, M. nonchromogenicum, M. xenopi, M. malmoense, M. simiae, M. flavescens, M. fortuitum, and M. paratuberculosis were determined and compared. The sequence data were used to infer a phylogenetic tree, which provided the basis for a systematic phylogenetic analysis of the genus Mycobacterium. The groups of slow- and fast-growing mycobacteria could be differentiated as distinct entities. We found that M. simiae occupies phylogenetically an intermediate position between these two groups. The phylogenetic relatedness within the slow-growing species did not reflect the Runyon classification of photochromogenic, scotchromogenic, and nonchromogenic mycobacteria. In general, the phylogenetic units identified by using rRNA sequences confirmed the validity of phenotypically defined species; an exception was M. gastri, which was indistinguishable from M. kansasii when this kind of analysis was used. |

| Remarks: |
For the differentiation and identification of mycobacterial species, the rpoB gene, encoding the beta subunit of RNA polymerase, was investigated. rpoB DNAs (342 bp) were amplified from 44 reference strains of mycobacteria and clinical isolates (107 strains) by PCR. The nucleotide sequences were directly determined (306 bp) and aligned by using the multiple alignment algorithm in the MegAlign package (DNASTAR) and the MEGA program. A phylogenetic tree was constructed by the neighbor-joining method. Comparative sequence analysis of rpoB DNAs provided the basis for species differentiation within the genus Mycobacterium. Slowly and rapidly growing groups of mycobacteria were clearly separated, and each mycobacterial species was differentiated as a distinct entity in the phylogenetic tree. Pathogenic Mycobacterium kansasii was easily differentiated from nonpathogenic M. gastri; this differentiation cannot be achieved by using 16S rRNA gene (rDNA) sequences. By being grouped into species-specific clusters with low-level sequence divergence among strains of the same species, all of the clinical isolates could be easily identified. These results suggest that comparative sequence analysis of amplified rpoB DNAs can be used efficiently to identify clinical isolates of mycobacteria in parallel with traditional culture methods and as a supplement to 16S rDNA gene analysis. Furthermore, in the case of M. tuberculosis, rifampin resistance can be simultaneously determined. |

| Remarks: |
We describe a modified rRNA sequence analysis method which we used to determine the phylogenetic relationships among 58 species belonging to the genus Mycobacterium. We combined the sensitivity of the reverse transcriptase PCR for amplifying nanogram amounts of template rRNA material with the elevated extension temperatures used for the thermostable DNA polymerase from Thermus thermophilus. A 70 degrees C reverse transcription extension step permitted improved read-through of highly structured rRNA templates from members of the genus Mycobacterium, which have G+C contents of 66 to 71 mol%. The nucleic acid sequences of the amplified material were then determined by performing thermal cycle sequencing with alpha-33P-labeled primers, again with extension at 70 degrees C. Nonspecifically terminated bands were chased by using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase. Our method had a template requirement of nanogram amounts or less of purified RNA or 2,000 CFU of intact cells and had sufficient sensitivity so that lyophils obtained from the American Type Culture Collection could be used as source material. Sequences from a 250-nucleotide stretch of the 23S rRNA were aligned, and phylogenetic trees were evaluated by using the De Soete distance treeing algorithm and Rhodococcus bronchialis as the outgroup. Our 23S rRNA trees were compared with previously published 16S rRNA trees, including the comprehensive trees developed by the University of Illinois Ribosomal Database Project, and included 15 species not evaluated previously. Most of the groups were in general agreement and were consistent with relationships determined on the basis of biochemical characteristics, but some new relationships were also observed. |

| Remarks: |
We describe a novel molecular method for the differentiation and identification of 29 mycobacterial species. The target is the secA1 gene that codes for the essential protein SecA1, a key component of the major pathway of protein secretion across the cytoplasmic membrane. A 700-bp region of the secA1 gene was amplified and sequenced from 47 American Type Culture Collection strains of 29 Mycobacterium species as well as from 59 clinical isolates. Sequence variability in the amplified segment of the secA1 gene allowed the differentiation of all species except for the members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) complex, which had identical sequences. A range of 83.3 to 100% interspecies similarity was observed. All species could also be differentiated by their amino acid sequences as deduced from the sequenced region of the secA1 gene, with the exception of the MTB complex. Partial sequences of secA1 from clinical isolates belonging to nine frequently isolated species of mycobacteria revealed a very high intraspecies similarity at the DNA level (typically >99%; range, 96.0 to 100%); all clinical isolates were correctly identified. Comparison of the deduced 233-amino-acid sequences among clinical isolates of the same species showed between 99.6 and 100% similarity. To our knowledge, this is the first time a secretion-related gene has been used for the identification of the species within a bacterial genus. |
