Specificity of diagnostic PCR amplification for M. avium using the probe pMAV22
Abstract
We characterized the serovar specificity of the probe pMAV22 using ATCC isolates. Primers from this sequence amplified DNA from serovars 1-6, 8-10, and ATCC strain 19075 but did not amplify MAIS serovars 7, 11, 12, 14, 17-20. This confirmed that the M. avium probe pMAV22 is specific for M. avium, not M. intracellulare.
