PCT No. PCT/FR94/00929 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 23, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 23, 1995 PCT Filed Jul. 22, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/03412 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 2, 1995Bacteria of the genus Mycobacterium can be detected and/or identified by methods using probes including fragments of a variable region of a 23S ribosomal RNA of a species of the genus Mycobacterium or probes including DNA fragments that are obtained by reverse transcription of the RNA or that form the RNA by transcription. Primers for the reverse transcription of a variable region of a 23S ribosomal RNA sequence of mycobacteria include nucleotide sequences of a 23S RNA of a species of the genus Mycobacterium.
