Rapid clonal analysis of recurrent tuberculosis by direct MIRU-VNTR typing on stored isolates.

BMC microbiology - 30 Jul 2007

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The application of molecular tools to the analysis of tuberculosis has revealed examples of clonal complexity, such as exogenous reinfection, coinfection, microevolution or compartmentalization. The detection of clonal heterogeneity by standard genotyping approaches is laborious and often requires expertise. This restricts the rapid availability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) genotypes for...
