Abstract excerpt
In the present study, 77 drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains isolated in Poland in 2000 were characterized by the mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat (MIRU-VNTR) typing and our novel method based on PCR amplification of DNA regions between IS6110 and 16-bp GC-rich frequent repeats (designated IS6110-Mtb1/Mtb2 PCR). The results were compared with previous data of...
