Detection and identification of aquatic mycobacteria in formalin‐fixed, paraffin‐embedded fish tissues
13 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
The isolation of mycobacteria from field samples is problematic, and isolation of the bacterium is sometimes not even attempted. The detection of mycobacteria through traditional histology using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues is neither sensitive nor specific. However, detection of mycobacterial DNA from FFPE specimens, suspected of being infected with mammalian mycobacteriosis, is a routine...
