Specific Proteins in Nontuberculous Mycobacteria: New Potential Tools

Table 3

Common and specific proteins in the NTM strains studied.

Strain	Common proteins^* (%)	Specific proteins^** (%)
M. gordonae	963 (76)	301 (24)
M. nonchromogenicum type I	701 (81)	166 (19)
M. nonchromogenicum type II	723 (81)	171 (19)
M. peregrinum	671 (83)	135 (17)
M. scrofulaceum/M. mantenii	1,231 (83)	255 (17)
Proteins common to all strains	141

 ^*Common proteins were defined as proteins that were present in at least two NTM strains.
^**Specific proteins were defined as proteins present only in one NTM strain.
