The genus Mycobacterium includes the important pathogens of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) and the nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). NTM are increasingly the cause of opportunistic infections. This trend and the rise of antibiotic resistance in this genus demand improved differentiation among mycobacterium species.
Serosep Limited supply a range of Mycobacteria Detection Kits from Bruker-Hain.

“GenoType MTBDRsl is a molecular genetic assay for detection of M. tuberculosis complex and its resistance to fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides / cyclic peptides (and ethambutol).
GenoType MTBDRsl is based on PCR and the DNA•STRIP technology where Mycobacterial DNA is extracted from the
patient specimen, specifically amplified via PCR and detected on a membrane strip using reverse hybridization and an enzymatic colour reaction.
There are several benefits to using GenoType MTBDRplus, please contact info@serosep.com for a full product brochure.”
“The GenoType MTBDRplus is a molecular genetic assay for detection of the M. tuberculosis complex, its resistance to rifampicin and/or its resistance to isoniazid.
GenoType MTBDRplus is based on PCR and the DNA•STRIP technology, where Mycobacterial DNA is extracted from
the patient specimen, amplified via PCR and detected on a membrane strip using reverse hybridization and an enzymatic colour reaction. Valid results are documented by internal controls, Conjugate and Amplification Control.
There are several benefits to using GenoType MTBDRsl, please contact info@serosep.com for a full product brochure.”
Genotype NTM- DR is a molecular genetic assay for the detection of resistances to macrolides and aminoglycosides
in various clinically relevant NTM from cultivated samples. The GenoType NTM-DR assay permits the simultaneous molecular genetic detection of:
• M. avium
• M. intracellulare
• M. chimaera
• M. chelonae
• M. abscessus complex (M. abscessus subsp. abscessus, M. abscessus subsp. massiliense and M. abscessus subsp. bolletii)
The GenoType NTM-DR is based on PCR and the DNA•STRIP technology. Mycobacterial DNA is extracted, specifically amplified via PCR and detected on a membrane strip using reverse hybridization and an enzymatic colour reaction.
There are several benefits to using GenoType NTM- DR, please contact info@serosep.com for a full product brochure.
“TBCheck MPT64 is a rapid immunochromatographic assay for the detection of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.
The TBCheck MPT64 assay allows the identification of the MPT64 antigen from cultivated liquid samples. This
antigen is highly specific for M. tuberculosis complex and thus suitable for its identification directly from culture. TBCheck MPT64 is based on an immunochromatographic assay principle.
There are several benefits to using TBCheck MPT64 , please contact info@serosep.com for a full product brochure.
“
The GenoType MTBC is a molecular genetic assay for differentiation of M. tuberculosis complex. GenoType MTBC is based on PCR and the DNA•STRIP technology. Mycobacterial DNA is extracted from cultivated material, specifically amplified via PCR and detected on a membrane strip using reverse hybridization and an enzymatic colour reaction. The GenoType MTBC permits the molecular genetic identification of:
• M. tuberculosis
• M. bovis ssp. bovis
• M. bovis ssp. caprae
• M. africanum
• M. microti
• M. canettii
• M. bovis BCG (Bacille Calmette-Guérin)
