METHOD FOR DETECTION OF NUCLEIC ACID OF MYCOBACTERIUM AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The present invention provides a nucleic acid based detection method for diagnosis of infectious diseases, genetically transmitted diseases, cancer and/or SNP variations. The present invention provides oligonucleotides useful for detection of infectious agent such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. avium, M. bovisand mutation resulting in drug resistance. The invention further provides kits for diagnosis of said diseases and mutations. The kit provided in the invention is highly sensitive, specific, easy to use, has a low turnaround time and capable of detecting low titers of the infectious agent.
