Molecular technique for rapid identification of mycobacteria
1 Jan 1996
Abstract excerpt
Identification of mycobacteria through conventional microbiological methods is cumbersome and time-consuming. Recently we have developed a novel bacterial identification method to accurately and rapidly identify different mycobacteria directly from water and clinical isolates. The method utilizes the PCR to amplify a portion of the small subunit rRNA from mycobacteria. The 5' PCR primer has a fluorescent label to...
