Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Establish a typing system for Mycobacterium leprae based on polymorphic DNA structures known as short tandem repeats (STR). DESIGN: Assess 16 polymorphic STR for sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility in standard assays using reference strains of M. leprae. RESULTS: Primers for 16 STR loci were selected based on PCR product size and for their ability to sequence each STR locus from both...
