Specific identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with the luciferase reporter mycobacteriophage: use of p-nitro-alpha-acetylamino-beta-hydroxy propiophenone
1 Dec 1997
Abstract excerpt
We have previously described a luciferase reporter mycobacteriophage (LRP) assay that can detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis and characterize mycobacterial drug susceptibility patterns within 24 to 48 h in positive cultures. One drawback of this LRP protocol is the ability of the recombinant mycobacteriophage phAE40 to infect a variety of Mycobacterium species, thus limiting its specificity for the detection of M....
