Abstract
Differentiation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) species is important for patient management. We developed a genomic deletion assay based on multiplex polymerase chain reaction with melting temperature analysis that correctly identified 124 (96%) of 129 MTC isolates. This assay is a fast single-tube method to differentiate members of MTC.
