SPECIFIC NUCLEIC ACID FRAGMENTS OF MYCOBACTERIA MEMBERS OF THE M. TUBERCULOSIS COMPLEX AND THEIR APPLICATIONS FOR THE DETECTION AND DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF THE MEMBERS OF THE M. TUBERCULOSIS COMPLEX

摘要

The invention concerns a M. tuberculosis complex mycobacteria specific fragment of nucleic acids, comprising a nucleotide chain selected among the SEQ ID NO. 1 sequence, the SEQ ID No 2 sequence, their complementary sequences or the nucleic acid sequences capable of being hybridised with one of the preceding sequences in conditions of high stringency. The invention also concerns uses of said sequences for the detection and differential diagnosis of mycobacteria members of the M. tuberculosis complex, in particular the BCG differential diagnosis of other members of the complex.
