Rapid detection of laboratory cross-contamination with Mycobacterium tuberculosis using multispacer sequence typing.

BMC microbiology - 3 Mar 2009

Djelouadji Zoheira, Orehek Jean, Drancourt Michel

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The ability to culture Mycobacterium tuberculosis from clinical specimens serves as the gold standard for the diagnosis of tuberculosis. However, a number of false-positive diagnoses may be due to cross-contamination of such specimens. We herein investigate such episode of cross-conta...
