Disclosed are nucleic acid oligonucleotides which are substantially complementary to nucleic acids from Mycobacteria, and subgeneric classes thereof.

Uses for such oligonucleotides include detection of Mycobacteria by hybridization and amplification of Mycobacterial nucleic acid by polymerase chain reaction.
