  • Title: Rapid identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium by polymerase chain reaction and restriction enzyme analysis within sigma factor regions.
    Author: Comincini S, Barbarini D, Telecco S, Bono L, Marone P.
    Journal: New Microbiol; 1998 Oct; 21(4):391-5. PubMed ID: 9812321.
    Abstract:
    A single Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) within the rpoV gene was developed to rapidly distinguish mycobacteria isolated from clinical specimens. The species identifications of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis were congruent with standard typing techniques. The analysis was targeted toward the identification of species-specific markers for the clinically relevant M. tuberculosis and M. avium. In addition, HaeIII digestion of the amplification products yielded isolates-specific bands.
