Abstract

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-DNA hybridization was used to determine the relationships of and to 24 mycobacterial strains representing seven species. Our results indicate that should be considered a member of the same genomic species as and the wood pigeon bacillus. , which has been considered a member of the complex on the basis of phenotypic characteristics, shows little DNA similarity to , or .
