Abstract
The present invention relates to diagnosis of tuberculosis in saliva. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for determining whether a subject is likely to be infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (mt) by incubating a saliva sample from a subject with a single stranded DNA oligonucleotide comprising an STS binding element for mt DNA Topoisomerase I enzyme (mTOPI) and subsequently determining the level of circularized oligonucleotide. Furthermore, the present invention relates to oligonucleotides comprising an STS binding element and uses thereof.
