Development and Evaluation of a Multiplex PCR for Rapid Detection and Differentiation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Members from Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria
2007-05-28
Abstract excerpt
Most mycobacterial infections are still caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) strains; however, infections by non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are increasing, particularly among immunocompromised patients. Conventional species-specific identification and proper patient management are delayed due to the slow-growing nature of mycobacteria. We have developed a multiplex PCR (mPCR) targeting the oxyR-a...
