Strain identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by DNA fingerprinting: recommendations for a standardized methodology
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
A standardized technique which exploits variability in both the number and genomic position of IS6110 to generate strain-specific patterns will facilitate investigations into the international transmission of tuberculosis and may identify specific strains with unique properties such as high infectivity, virulence, or drug resistance.
