Abstract excerpt
In order to detect mutations in the core region of the RNA polymerase B (rpoB) subunit gene of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that are known to be associated with resistance to rifampin, we applied rapid chemical cleavage of mismatches (CCM) to heteroduplexes formed between the DNA of M. tuberculosis H37Rv and strains resistant to rifampin. DNA fragments amplified from normal and mutant rpoB genes by polymerase chain...
