[Development of a method for identifying bovine and human types of mycobacteria using the polymerase chain reaction]

An express method has been elaborated for identification of human and bovine species mycobacteria in the polymerase chain reaction. The high specificity of the technique and simplicity of material preparation for research make the experimental procedure simple and quick, permitting one to identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis directly in pathogenic material.
