Abstract excerpt
Southern hybridization was used in combination with IS6110 insertion-locus-specific probes in a comparative study to determine the structure of chromosomal domains flanking IS6110 elements in clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The resulting restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) data demonstrated three mutational mechanisms responsible for the polymorphisms observed: IS6110 insertion,...
