Variable Numbers of TTC Repeats inMycobacterium lepraeDNA from Leprosy Patients and Use in Strain Differentiation

1 Dec 2000

Abstract excerpt

Strain differentiation of Mycobacterium leprae would be of great value for epidemiological investigation to identify the infectious sources of leprosy, to understand transmission patterns, and to distinguish between relapse and reinfection. From the M. leprae genome sequence database, TTC DNA repeats were identified. Primer sets designed to amplify the region flanking TTC repeats revealed PCR products of...
