Development and Application of Multiprobe Real-Time PCR Method Targeting the hsp65 Gene for Differentiation of Mycobacterium Species from Isolates and Sputum Specimens
15 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
We developed a multiprobe real-time PCR assay targeting hsp65 (HMPRT-PCR) to detect and identify mycobacterial isolates and isolates directly from sputum specimens. Primers and probes for HMPRT-PCR were designed on the basis of the hsp65 gene sequence, enabling the recognition of seven pathogenic mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. avium, M. intracellulare, M. kansasii, M. abscessus, M....
