 AB    Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) was used to study 75
       clinical isolates identified as Mycobacterium avium. Two repetitive
       insertion sequences, IS1311 and IS900, were used as DNA probes. Although
       less than 25% of isolates showed RFLP patterns with IS900, all strains
       gave banding patterns with IS1311. M. avium strains isolated from
       patients with AIDS exhibited marked polymorphism with both probes.
