Abstract
Bacteria of the genus Mycobacterium can be detected and/or identified by methods using probes including fragments of a variable region of a 23S ribosomal RNA of a species of the genus Mycobacterium or probes including DNA fragments that are obtained by reverse transcription of the RNA or that form the RNA by transcription. Primers for the reverse transcription of a variable region of a 23S ribosomal RNA sequence of mycobacteria include nucleotide sequences of a 23S RNA of a species of the genus Mycobacterium.
