Use of PCR-based Mycobacterium tuberculosis genotyping to prioritize tuberculosis outbreak control activities.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Mar 2008

Ashworth Maegan, Horan Kathleen L, Freeman Robert, Oren Eyal, Narita Masahiro, Cangelosi Gerard A

Abstract excerpt

Genotypic analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates is increasingly applied in direct support of tuberculosis outbreak control activities. This is facilitated by PCR-based strain typing methods that enable the genotypic characterization of samples containing small numbers of M. tuberculosis...
