Patent ID: 11781191

Abstract:
Oligonucleotides for use in amplifying at least one gene present in M. riyadhense are disclosed. The oligoncleotides include forward primers, SEQ ID NO:1, 3, 5, and 7 and the reverse primers comprises, consists essentially of or consists of SEQ ID NO:2, 4, 6, and 8, fragment(s), derivative(s), mutation(s), or complementary sequence(s) thereof. Also provided are methods for detecting the presence of M. riyadhense in a sample. The method includes contacting a biological sample with a pair of forward/reverse primers, under conditions suitable for amplification of at least one gene product from M. riyadhense if present in a sample and detecting the presence of the amplification product.The oligonucleotides and method disclosed herein can be used to determine the presence of M. riyadhense in a biological or non-biological sample. The sample can be obtained from a subject such as a human subject.
