Figure 1 A: Set of common primer forward (PF) and primer reverse (PR) and specific probe (Pb) CY5 for Mycobacterium chelonae (MC) and JOE for Mycobacterium abscessus group (MAG) (subspecies abscessus, massiliense, and bolletii) designed using internal transcribed spacer sequence (ITS) gene. B: Set of primer forward 1 (PF1) for Mycobacterium porcinum, Mycobacterium houstonense, Mycobacterium senegalense, Mycobacterium farcinogenes, and Mycobacterium boenickei; primer forward 2 (PF2) for Mycobacterium fortuitum, Mycobacterium peregrinum, Mycobacterium neworleansense, Mycobacterium septicum, and Mycobacterium alvei; primer reverse (PR) and specific probe (Pb) for M. fortuitum complex (MFC) designed using β subunit of bacterial RNA polymerase (rpoB) gene.
