Utility of fast mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat genotyping in clinical mycobacteriological analysis.

Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America - 15 Sept 2004

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Analysis of variable numbers of tandem repeats (VNTR) of genetic elements called mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units (MIRUs) is a recently described, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method used to genotype Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is much faster, requires a smaller amount of DNA, and has approximately the same discriminatory power as the standard IS6110 restriction fragment-length...
