Abstract
Taxonomical analyses of mycobacteria were performed by using multilocu s enzyme electrophoresis (MEE). The studies showed that the mycobacter ia tested advantageously could be differentiated on species level. The MEE method could also be used for subspecies differentiation, but the method seemed less well suited than some other methods for this purpo se. The results are discussed in relation to MEE analyses of other mic roorganisms.
