Molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium leprae as determined by structure-neighbor clustering.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Jun 2010

Hall Barry G, Salipante Stephen J

Abstract excerpt

It has proven challenging to investigate the molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium leprae, the causative agent of leprosy, due to difficulties with culturing of the organism and a lack of genetic heterogeneity between strains. Recently, a cost-effective panel of variable-number tandem-repeat (VNTR) markers has been developed. Use of this panel allows some of those limitations to be overcome and has allowed the...
