Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To study the stability and allelic diversity of tandem repeat loci in M. leprae in leprosy patients of Cebu, Philippines, and the suitability of multilocus variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) analysis (MLVA) typing for detecting transmission. METHODS: Seventy newly diagnosed leprosy patients consulting at the Leonard Wood Memorial, Cebu Skin Clinic Total DNA was extracted from slit skin smear (SSS)...
