The results of our study showed that the patients were infected by a wide range of atypical mycobacteria. It was concluded that 16S rRNA gene sequencing coupled with rpoB marker is a high discriminatory power in identification of NTM. The presence of various species in clinical samples in Iran emphasizes the use of molecular method like sequence analysis of genes is necessary for reliable identification.
