Abstract:
Provided herein is an assay for detecting a rough-type  mycobacterium  and a smooth-type  mycobacterium  in a sample, wherein the  mycobacterium  is  Mycobacterium tuberculosis  or  Mycobacterium bovis . The assay comprises a first molecule that selectively binds to the rough-type  mycobacterium  or binds to a molecule preferentially secreted by the rough-type  mycobacterium  and a second molecule that selectively binds to the smooth-type  mycobacterium  or binds to a molecule preferentially secreted by the smooth-type  mycobacterium . The first molecule and the second molecule are independently detectable. Also provided herein are corresponding methods for detecting a rough-type  mycobacterium  and a smooth-type  mycobacterium  in a sample and assays and methods for detecting tuberculosis infection in a sample.

Claim (Index 15):
The assay of  claim 14 , wherein the protein, lipid or polysaccharide preferentially expressed by the rough-type  mycobacterium  is a cell surface protein, lipid or polysaccharide, respectively.
