A paradigm for the molecular identification of Mycobacterium species in a routine diagnostic laboratory
19 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to improve the identification of Mycobacterium species in the context of a UK teaching hospital. Real-time PCR assays were established to enable the rapid differentiation between Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) complex and Mycobacterium species other than tuberculosis (MOTT), followed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing for the speciation of MOTT. Real-time PCR assays gave comparable results to...
