Provided are a PNA chip for determining the genotypes of mycobacterial
species in which probe PNAs having DNA sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 5-28 are
immobilized on a plastic substrate coated with an epoxy group-containing
polymer, and a method of determining the genotypes of mycobacterial
species using the PNA chip. According to the PNA chip and the method of
determining the genotypes of mycobacterial species, the genotypes of
mycobacterial species which are causes of tuberculosis and respiratory
diseases can be determined within a short term with good sensitivity and
specificity. Therefore, detection of the presence of mycobacterial
species in test samples, and after confirmation of the presence of
mycobacterial species, identification of the mycobacterial species and
determination of whether or not the mycobacterial species are
tuberculosis-causing mycobacterial species can be achieved promptly and
accurately.
