Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium leprae is classified into four SNP genotypes and 16 subtypes (from 1A to 4P) that exhibit phylogeographical association reported from around the world. Among them, genotypes 1D and 3I represent more than 60% of M. leprae strains. Here, we report a new method for M. leprae genotyping which identifies the genotypes 1D and 3I by combining multiplex PCR amplification and restriction fragment length...
