Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Infections in Indian AIDS Patients Detected by a Novel Set of ESAT-6 Polymerase Chain Reaction Primers
28 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
Nontuberculous mycobacteria are often underdiagnosed due to lack of proper diagnostic facilities. To overcome this, we created a rapid PCR method for the species-specific diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and its differentiation from other mycobacteria. A set of PCR primers targeting the gene encoding for early-secreted antigen-6 (ESAT-6) of the M. tuberculosis complex was designed and standardized on...
