Molecular assay reagents intended to identify Mycobacterium avium complex, a group of slow-growing bacteria (including, but not limited to, M. avium and M. intracellulare) of the family Mycobacteriaceae, by detecting specific genetic information of the ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) of the target bacteria. These bacteria may cause pulmonary diseases, lymphadenitis in children, and systemic illness in immunocompromised people (e.g., AIDS patients).
