High-Resolution Melting Curve Analysis for Rapid Detection of Rifampin and Isoniazid Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Clinical Isolates
16 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
We evaluated high-resolution melting (HRM) curve analysis as a tool for detecting rifampin (RIF) and isoniazid (INH) resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis in an accurate, affordable, and rapid manner. Two hundred seventeen M. tuberculosis clinical isolates of known resistance phenotype were used. Twenty-nine known rpoB mutant DNAs, including rare mutations, were also included. Four pairs of primers were...
