Abstract excerpt
Identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. bovis is necessary for the application of adequate drug therapy. PCR amplification is a good tool for this purpose, but choosing proper target is of a great concern. We describe a PCR assay for fast detection of M. tuberculosis and M. bovis.As a BLAST and BLASTP search we selected regulatory gene whiB7 that encodes multi-drug resistance in this bacterium. Thirty...
