Abstract excerpt
Very fast amplification of DNA in small volumes can be continuously monitored with a rapid cycler that incorporates fluorimetric detection. Primers were designed to amplify a 157-bp fragment of the rpoB gene spanning codons 526 and 531 and a 209-bp fragment of the katG gene spanning codon 315 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Most mutations associated with resistance to rifampin (RMP) and isoniazid (INH) in clinical...
