Rv1458c: a new diagnostic marker for identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in a novel duplex PCR assay
27 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We explored the efficiency of Rv1458c, the gene encoding a putative ABC drug transporter specific for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), as a diagnostic marker. METHODOLOGY: A 190 bp region of Rv1458c and a 300 bp region of hsp65 were targeted in a novel duplex PCR assay and the results were compared with those for PCR restriction analysis(PRA) using the restriction enzymes NruI and BamHI....
