DNA Fingerprinting ofMycobacterium tuberculosisIsolates from Epidemiologically Linked Case Pairs

1 Nov 2002

Abstract excerpt

DNA fingerprinting was used to evaluate epidemiologically linked case pairs found during routine tuberculosis (TB) contact investigations in seven sentinel sites from 1996 to 2000. Transmission was confirmed when the DNA fingerprints of source and secondary cases matched. Of 538 case pairs identified, 156 (29%) did not have matching fingerprints. Case pairs from the same household were no more likely to have...
