Dual-Probe Assay for Rapid Detection of Drug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis by Real-Time PCR
1 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in particular nucleotides of genes coding for drug targets or drug-converting enzymes lead to drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. For rapid detection of drug-resistant M. tuberculosis in clinical specimens, a simple and applicable method is needed. Eight TaqMan minor groove binder (MGB) probes, which discriminate one-base mismatches, were designed (dual-probe assay with four reaction tubes)....
