Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium leprae is the predominant cause of leprosy worldwide, and its genotypes can be classified into four single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) types and 16 subtypes. Determining M. leprae drug resistance and genotype is typically done by PCR and Sanger DNA sequencing, which require substantial effort. Here, we describe a rapid method involving multiplex PCR in combination with nested amplification and...
