Diversity of potential short tandem repeats in Mycobacterium leprae and application for molecular typing.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Oct 2005

Zhang Liangfen, Budiawan Teky, Matsuoka Masanori

Abstract excerpt

A recent advance in molecular typing for tracing the transmission of leprosy is the discovery of short tandem repeats (STRs) in Mycobacterium leprae. To substantiate polymorphic loci from STR as promising candidates for molecular typing tools in leprosy epidemiology, 44 STR loci including 33 microsatellites and 11 minisatellites were investigated among 27 laboratory strains by sequencing PCR products. Not all...
