DNA Fingerprint Changes in Tuberculosis: Reinfection, Evolution, or Laboratory Error?

12 Sept 2004

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: DNA fingerprint patterns of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains vary within individuals and between epidemiologically linked individuals because of pattern evolution, new infections, and laboratory error. We explored the importance of these factors. METHODS: Cultures from individuals in northern Malawi who had been diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB) during 1996-2001 were fingerprinted with restriction...
