A multiplex polymerase chain reaction has been developed which is able to distinguish Mycobacterium tuberculosis from other members of the M. tuberculosis complex. The assay is based on the simultaneous amplification of two different targets: a 396bp region from the mtp40 species-specific gene sequence of M. tuberculosis and a 245bp fragment from the M. tuberculosis complex insertion sequence IS986. Results have been obtained for 54 mycobacterial strains including five non-M. tuberculosis complex isolates. All 49 strains of the M. tuberculosis complex were positive for IS986 but only the 27 M. tuberculosis isolates were positive for both IS986 and mtp40.

Sequence Data, Molecular,Molecular Sequencing Data,Data, Molecular Sequence,Data, Molecular Sequencing,Sequencing Data, Molecular
D009161 Mycobacterium A genus of gram-positive, aerobic bacteria. Most species are free-living in soil and water, but the major habitat for some is the diseased tissue of warm-blooded hosts. Mycobacteria
D009169 Mycobacterium tuberculosis A species of gram-positive, aerobic bacteria that produces TUBERCULOSIS in humans, other primates, CATTLE; DOGS; and some other animals which have contact with humans. Growth tends to be in serpentine, cordlike masses in which the bacilli show a parallel orientation. Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv

D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
