Discrimination of isolates of <i>Mycobacterium bovis</i> in Northern Ireland on the basis of variable numbers of tandem repeats (VNTRs)

1 Oct 2005

Abstract excerpt

The ability to reproducibly discriminate Mycobacterium bovis isolates and trace their transmission has the potential to clarify sources of infection and major routes of transmission for bovine tuberculosis (TB). A PCR-based genotyping assay has been developed to discriminate between strains of M bovis by examining multiple sites in its genome that consist of variable numbers of tandem repeats (VNTRS). The...
