Identification of <i>Mycobacterium</i> spp. by Using a Commercial 16S Ribosomal DNA Sequencing Kit and Additional Sequencing Libraries
1 Feb 2002
Abstract excerpt
Current methods for identification of Mycobacterium spp. rely upon time-consuming phenotypic tests, mycolic acid analysis, and narrow-spectrum nucleic acid probes. Newer approaches include PCR and sequencing technologies. We evaluated the MicroSeq 500 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) bacterial sequencing kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif.) for its ability to identify Mycobacterium isolates. The kit is based on...
