Abstract
Fragments of nucleic acids derived from an appropriate mycobacteria genome, particularly Mycobacterium tuberculosis, their applications in the diagnosis of mycobacteria infections, as well as plasmides containing said fragments. The nucleotidic sequence is comprised of a nucleotidic sequence repeated in the genome of a mycobacterium and specific of the bacillus of tuberculosis and is characterized by a strong hybridation with M. tuberculosis.
