Title:
DIFFERENTIATION OF SPECIES WITHIN THE MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS COMPLEX
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/148269
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a multiplex in vitro nucleic acid amplification method for identifying a species of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex present in a sample. The method includes detecting the presence or absence of a plurality of nucleic acid molecule targets in the sample in one reaction, wherein at least one of the nucleic acid molecule targets is present in the genome of one or more, but not all, of the species of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. The invention also includes kits containing primers or probes for conducting this method, nucleic acids useful for performing this method and diagnostic techniques using these nucleic acids.
