ABSTRACT:
Oligonucleotide primers derived from the BCG-85B gene of mycobacteria and methods for complex-specific amplification of a fragment of the BCG-85B gene in species of the Mycobacterium avium Complex (MAC) are provided. Also disclosed are an oligonucleotide detector probe useful for detecting the amplification products of the BCG-85B gene in MAC species and adaptation of the primers for multiplex amplification reactions.
