Species Identification of Mycobacteria by PCR-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism of the <i>rpoB</i> Gene
1 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis (PRA) using the novel region of the rpoB gene was developed for rapid and precise identification of mycobacteria to the species level. A total of 50 mycobacterial reference strains and 3 related bacterial strains were used to amplify the 360-bp region of rpoB, and the amplified DNAs were subsequently digested with restriction enzymes such as MspI and HaeIII....
