Abstract excerpt

The PCR-based variable-number tandem repeats (VNTR) typing method is a very promising tool for the molecular epidemiological study of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The discriminatory power of the VNTR loci that were optimized in many previous studies has not been evaluated in Shanghai, an area where Beijing genotype strains dominate. In the present study, we first performed a literature search to identify VNTR loci...
