Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex differentiation using gyrB-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) members are causative agents of human and animal tuberculosis. Differentiation of MTBC members is required for appropriate treatment of individual patients and for epidemiological purposes. Strains from six MTBC species -- M. tuberculosis, M. bovis subsp. bovis, M. bovis BCG, M. africanum, M. pinnipedii, and "M. canetti" -- were studied using gyrB-restr...
متن کاملRestriction fragment length polymorphism typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a recently developed technique which allows strains of tuberculosis to be differentiated with a high degree of confidence. The application of this technique has enabled the patterns of transmission of tuberculosis to be elucidated with far greater certainty than was previously possible. This review will disc...
متن کاملRestriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis and tuberculosis epidemiology.
In order to study polymorphisms of the DNA insertion sequence 6110 (IS6110) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains isolated from Colombian patients, together with resistance to antituberculous medications in the Department of Quindío, Colombia, a prospective study was conducted using a consecutive sample of 59 patients with symptomatic pulmonary tuberculosis whose cases had been confirmed by bac...
متن کاملFalse-positive Mycobacterium tuberculosis culture revealed by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis.
BACKGROUND The microbiological analysis of respiratory specimens is the most reliable approach to diagnose active pulmonary tuberculosis. PATIENT AND METHODS We report a 60-year-old female patient (index patient) who underwent diagnostic bronchoscopy for chronic cough. No acid-fast bacilli were detected in bronchial washings. Although cough subsided with symptomatic treatment, Mycobacterium t...
متن کاملRestriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated from countries in the western pacific region.
A total of 422 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from eight countries were subjected to IS6110 and IS1081 DNA fingerprinting by means of restriction fragment analysis to characterize M. tuberculosis strains from each country. Chinese, Mongolian, Hong Kong, Filipino, and Korean isolates had comparatively more copies of IS6110 (proportion with eight or more copies; 95% +/- 5%), while Thai, Mala...
