Streptomyces albus isolated from a human actinomycetoma and characterized by molecular techniques.

ABSTRACT: A Streptomyces albus forearm actinomycetoma that could not be identified by culture was properly identified at the species level by study of an internal fragment of the heat shock protein gene, comparative sequence analysis of 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA), and the hypervariable gamma-region of the 16S rDNA.
