Evaluation of 24-locus MIRU-VNTR in extrapulmonary specimens: study from a tertiary centre in Mumbai.

Tuberculosis (Edinburgh, Scotland) - 1 May 2012

Vadwai Viral, Shetty Anjali, Supply Philip, Rodrigues Camilla

Abstract excerpt

Genotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates is a useful tool for epidemiological control of tuberculosis (TB) and phylogenetic exploration of the pathogen. There is a lack of information on the discriminatory power of standard 24-locus mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit (MIRU) - var...
