Abstract
This invention relates to oligonucleotides sequence of probes or primers for detection or identication of Mycobacterium. In the claimed invention, oligonucleotide sequences of ITS (Internal Transcribing Spacer Region) from M. fortuitium, M. chelonae, M. abscessus, M. vaccae, M. flavescence, M. Asiaticum, M. porcinum, M. acapulcensis and M. diernhoferi have been identified. Using these ITS sequences, PCR primers or hybridization probes for detection or identication of Mycobacterium have been developed and presented as seq ID: 10 to seq ID: 241.
Claims3
An isolated DNA molecule of an Internal Transcribed Spacer region of Mycobacterium fortuitum where said DNA molecule consists of, SEQ ID NO:
- 1.
An oligonucleotide for detection and identification of Mycobacterium fortuitum wherein said oligonucltide is selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs:
- 28 to 38.
A method for detecting Mycobacterium fortuitum from a sample comprising:
- obtaining a sample DNA from the sample;
- hybridizing the sample DNA with a DNA primer, the DNA primer is at least one oligonucleotide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID Nos:
- 28 to 38,
- amplifying the sample DNA hybridized with the DNA primer;
- and
- detecting and identifying a product of amplification thereby detecting and identifying Mycobacterium fortuitum.
