Estimating the term…
The present invention relates to a method for isolating a polynucleotide of interest that is present in the genome of a first mycobacterium strain and/or is expressed by the first mycobacterium strain, where the polynucleotide of interest is also absent or altered in the genome of a second mycobacterium strain and/or is not expressed in the second mycobacterium. The method comprises: (a) contacting the genomic DNA of the first mycobacterium strain under hybridizing conditions with the DNA of a least one clone that belongs to a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) genomic DNA library of the second mycobacterium strain, and (b) isolating the polynucleotide of interest that does not form a hybrid with the DNA of the second mycobacterium strain. This invention further pertains to a Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain H37Rv genomic DNA library, as well as a Mycobacterium bovis BCG strain Pasteur genomic DNA library, and the recombinant BAC vectors that belong to those genomic DNA libraries. This invention also relates to a method, as well as a kit, for detecting a nucleic acid of a mycobacterium in a biological sample.
A method for isolating a polynucleotide of interest that is present in a genome of a first mycobacterium strain or that is expressed by said first mycobacterium strain and that is absent or altered in a genome of a second mycobacterium strain that is different from the first mycobacterium strain or that is not expressed in the second mycobacterium strain, said method comprising:
A method of isolating a polynucleotide of interest that is present in a genome of a first mycobacterium strain or that is expressed by the first mycobacterium strain and that is absent or altered in a genome of a second mycobacterium strain or that is not expressed by the second mycobacterium strain, said method comprising:
A Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain H37Rv genomic DNA library that has been deposited in the Collection Nationale de Cultures de Microorganismes under accession number I-1945, wherein said genomic DNA library comprises recombinant bacterial artificial chromosome vectors.
A Mycobacterium bovis BCG strain Pasteur genomic DNA library, wherein said genomic DNA library comprises recombinant bacterial artificial chromosome vectors.
