Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis Study of Mycobacterium abscessus Isolates Previously Affected by DNA Degradation
1 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
DNA degradation (which results in a smear pattern) occurs with almost 50% of Mycobacterium abscessus strains during pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). We assessed the potential benefit of using thiourea-containing buffer with M. abscessus by studying 69 isolates not previously typeable by PFGE (i.e., those with a smear pattern). Random (epidemiologically unrelated) isolates that were typeable (no smear...
