Diagnosis and Species Identification of Mycobacterial Infections by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis of Sterile Body Fluids

摘要

Background/AimsThe development of effective, accurate, and rapid diagnostic methods for Mycobacterium infection and mycobacterial species identification is required. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) is an easy, rapid and inexpensive technique for identifying Mycobacterium spp.
