Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) analysis with mycobacteria-specific primers as described in a previous study [23, 24]. Lane M, 100-bp DNA ladder size markers; lane T, type strain of M. fortuitum (ATCC 6841 strain); lanes F1 and F2, M. fortuitum clinical isolates from the cultures of other patients; lanes 1–7, M. fortuitum isolated from our patient (1–6, sputum; 7, intestinal fluid) RAPD-PCR patterns produced with primers OPA2, OPA18, and IS986FP are shown. Strains were determined to be identical when the same band patterns were observed with the three primers or one major band difference was observed in only one of the three primers
