Detection of Mycobacterium bovis in Organs of Slaughtered Cattle by DNA-Based Polymerase Chain Reaction and Ziehl-Neelsen Techniques in Bauchi State, Nigeria

Table 1

Species-specific primers for Mycobacterium bovis used for the study.

Primer direction	PCR primer sequence	Amplicon size (bp)
Forward	(5′CCCGCTGATGCAAGTGCC3′)	285 bp M. bovis
Reverse	(5′CCCGCACATCCCAACACC3′)

These primer oligonucleotide sequences were used to amplify a fragment of the oxyR gene [29].
