Tuberculosis remains a major public health problem, leading to three million deaths per year. Since the conventional methods for mycobacterial infections are time-consuming and labor intensive, there is a need for rapid, sensitive and specific methods. Molecular methods have been used in mycobacteriology for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from clinical specimens, identification, drug resistance and epidemiological studies.
