- •
Rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) are opportunistic pathogens associated with outbreaks.
- •
Conventional identification of RGM species is laborious and uncertain.
- •
Molecular techniques provide relevant information on diagnosis and clonality.
- •
Multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MLEE) was found to be a powerful tool for the identification and typing of epidemic RGM species.
