Improved specificity for detection of Mycobacterium bovis in fresh tissues using IS6110 real-time PCR
1 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Culture of M. bovis from diagnostic specimens is the gold standard for bovine tuberculosis diagnostics in the USA. Detection of M. bovis by PCR in tissue homogenates may provide a simple rapid method to complement bacterial culture. A significant impediment to PCR based assays on tissue homogenates is specificity since mycobacteria other than M. bovis may be associated with the tissues. RESULTS:...
