Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in respiratory specimens by strand displacement amplification of DNA
1 Apr 1996
Abstract excerpt
A total of 294 clinical respiratory specimens, including 75 with culture-positive results, were tested for the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by strand displacement amplification (SDA) of DNA. A region of the IS6110 insertion element and an internal control sequence were amplified and then detected by a chemiluminescence assay. Receiver operator-characteristic curves were used to evaluate three methods...
