Development of a peptide nucleic acid-based multiprobe real-time PCR method targeting the hsp65 gene for differentiation among Mycobacterium abscessus strains.

Abstract excerpt

Recently, the need to distinguish between members of the Mycobacterium abscessus group has gained increasing attention. Here, we introduced a novel peptide nucleic acid (PNA) real-time PCR method targeting the hsp65 gene in order to distinguish between four subspecies within the M. abscessus group (M. abscessus and 3 types of M. massiliense).
