Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus Sequences as Molecular Targets for Typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Strains
1 Jan 1998
Abstract excerpt
The presence of enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC) sequences was demonstrated for the first time in the genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis; these sequences have been found in transcribed regions of the chromosomes of gram-negative bacteria. In this study genetic diversity among clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis was determined by PCR with ERIC primers (ERIC-PCR). The study isolates...
