Abstract
This study evaluated six DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) extraction methods for Mycobacterium avium, focusing on cost, procedure time, yield, quality, DNA integrity, and suitability for amplicon-based sequencing. The extracted DNA was used in the GenoType® Mycobacterium Common Mycobacterium (CM) line probe assay (LPA), which is routinely used for nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) identification in South Africa.
Contribution: The findings demonstrate that the currently used DNA extraction method, GenoLyse® Version 1.0, remains the fastest, simplest, and most cost-effective approach for routine NTM identification, despite lower DNA yields. GenoLyse also shows potential for implementation in amplicon-based sequencing of NTM, specifically when amplifying the 16S rRNA gene.
