Novel Polymorphic Region of the rpoB Gene Containing Mycobacterium Species-Specific Sequences and Its Use in Identification of Mycobacteria
1 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
Sequence analysis of a specific region of the mycobacterium rpoB gene in 35 mycobacterial strains representing 26 different mycobacterial species of clinical importance showed that there exists a highly polymorphic region. Based on the sequences of the polymorphic region, the oligonucleotide probes of 14 mycobacterial species with relatively high clinical importance were designed and shown to be specific to their...
