pubmed:abstractText |
Mycobacterium malmoense is an opportunistic human pathogen of increasing clinical importance. Since it is difficult to detect and identify the organism by conventional techniques, it was decided to seek a nucleic acid amplification method specific for M. malmoense. The method was based on detection of a conserved band in random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprints of 45 M. malmoense strains. This band was a 1,046-bp product which was proven to be M. malmoense specific in dot blot hybridization analysis with a panel of mycobacterial strains belonging to 39 other species. The fragment was sequenced, and oligonucleotide primers were synthesized to evaluate the specificity of the PCR. Two primer pairs were found to be specific and sensitive in the nested PCR that was developed. All 49 M. malmoense strains analyzed produced a PCR product of the expected size. In contrast, no strains belonging to the other mycobacterial species tested produced amplicons with these primers under specified reaction conditions. The results of the electrophoresis were confirmed by the hybridization with the M. malmoense-specific oligonucleotide probe. This method could be applied to the analysis of clinical or environmental samples, permitting the rapid detection of M. malmoense.
