Temperature-mediated heteroduplex analysis for detection of pncA mutations associated with pyrazinamide resistance and differentiation between Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis by denaturing high- performance liquid chromatography.

Abstract excerpt

The goal of this study was to apply temperature-mediated heteroduplex analysis using denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography to identify pyrazinamide (PZA) resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates and simultaneously differentiate between M. tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis. Features that contributed to an optimal assay included the use of two different reference probes for the pncA gene...
