Second worldwide proficiency study on variable number of tandem repeats typing of <I>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</I> complex

22 Apr 2014

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The quality of variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was first investigated in 2009 in 37 laboratories worldwide. The results revealed an inter- and intra-laboratory reproducibility of respectively 60% and 72%. These data spurred an improvement in laboratory-specific assays and global standardisation of VNTR typing. OBJECTIVE: To measure the effects of the...
