Oligonucleotide for detection and identification of Mycobacteria

摘要

This invention relates to oligonucleotides sequence of probes or primers for detection or identication of Mycobacterium. In the claimed invention, oligonucleotide sequences of ITS (Internal Transcribing Spacer Region) from M. fortuitium, M. chelonae, M. abscessus, M. vaccae, M. flavescence, M. Asiaticum, M. porcinum, M. acapulcensis and M. diernhoferi have been identified. Using these ITS sequences, PCR primers or hybridization probes for detection or identication of Mycobacterium have been developed and presented as seq ID: 10 to seq ID: 241.
