Mixed-linker polymerase chain reaction: a new method for rapid fingerprinting of isolates of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex
1 May 1993
Abstract excerpt
Rapid recognition of multidrug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a desirable goal for treatment of patients and protection of health care workers. DNA fingerprints produced with the insertion sequence IS6110 generate restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns that reliably identify M. tuberculosis complex strains. This report describes a rapid technique for RFLP typing using the...
