Predictors of tuberculosis transmission in prisons: an analysis using conventional and molecular methods

1 Mar 2000

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To determine the tuberculosis (TB) transmission patterns within the prison system in Catalonia, conventional epidemiological techniques were combined with DNA fingerprinting of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. METHODS: IS6110- and polymorphic GC-rich repeat sequence (PGRS)-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) were combined with epidemiological studies to assess the relatedness of isolates...
