Abstract excerpt
The differentiation within the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) based on phenotypic methods is long and does not give an unambiguous result in every case whereas the advance in genetic knowledge leads to new views. Thus, regions of difference (RD), that seem to characterize the species of the MTBC, have been identified. Amplification methods, targeted on these zones, have been developed then. The study...
