Mycobacterium xenopi is an opportunistic mycobacterial pathogen of increasing clinical importance. Surveillance ofM. xenopi is hampered by the absence of tools for genotyping and molecular epidemiology. In this study, we describe the development and evaluation of an effective multilocus sequence typing strategy forM. xenopi .
