A number of clinical and laboratory strains of microorganisms belonging to different species of mycobacteria of the nontuberculous complex were tested with the use of the polymerase chain reaction and the restriction analysis. The unique restriction profiles of the following species of mycobacteria have been obtained: M. fortuitum VI, M. kansasii I, M. intracellulare, M. avium.
