Abstract:
The present disclosure diagnoses mycobacterium tuberculosis, not mycobacterium tuberculosis complex only. Specific target genes are selected from regions of difference of mycobacterium tuberculosis. After hybridization with labeling substances, sputum samples are processed through color developments separately for obtaining images to be analyzed automatically. Thus, the present disclosure rapidly diagnoses mycobacterium tuberculosis in the sputum samples with a simple operation and a low cost.
