Identification of Beijing lineage Mycobacterium tuberculosis with combined mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit loci 26, 31, and ETR-A.

چکیده
A rapid method for identification of Beijing lineage Mycobacterium tuberculosis is still needed in regions of tuberculosis endemicity, especially if genotyping methods are not readily accessible. After analyzing 1,557 clinical isolates, a PCR method with combined mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit loci 26, 31, and ETR-A for differentiation of Beijing lineage isolates was established, the sensitivity and specificity of which are 94.7% and 98.5%, respectively.

Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive-unit locus PCR amplification and Beijing strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Liu et al. (8) assessed the usefulness of five mycobacterial interspersed repetitive-unit (MIRU) loci and RD105 deletiontargeted multiplex PCR (DTM-PCR) (1) to predict M. tuberculosis Beijing strains. They concluded that negative amplification of Mtub02 had sensitivity and specificity comparable to that of DTM-PCR. Mtub02 is a 9-bp repeated sequence that is located 21 bp downstream of the ATG c...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Tuberculosis Strains in a Population with Mainly Beijing-family Strains
A high prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) isolates that are genetically homogenous and from the Beijing family has been reported in Russia. To map TB transmission caused by these strains, new genotyping systems are needed. Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units (MIRUs) offer the possibility of rapid PCR-based typing with comparable discrimination to IS6110 restriction fragment length polymorp...

BACKGROUND Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis is a powerful strategy for large-scale molecular population studies examining phylogenetic relationships among bacterial strains. Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units-variable number of tandem repeats (MIRU-VNTR) can be easily digitized to share data among laboratories. This study applied SNP and MIRU-VNTR analyses for molecular st...
متن کاملRapid identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing genotypes on the basis of the mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit locus 26 signature.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing strains are prevalent in many parts of the world and often give rise to large institutional outbreaks. Such highly transmissible strains, often associated with multidrug resistance, are likely underrepresented in outbreaks reported from developing countries, mainly due to nonavailability of fast detection methods suitable in epidemiological surveillance studie...
متن کاملMycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing genotype and mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit typing.
Rao et al. (3) described a method to identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains of the Beijing genotype. The authors suggested using simple PCR of mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit–variable-number tandem repeat (MIRU-VNTR) locus 26 to identify these strains. This suggestion is based on the authors’ assumption that MIRU locus 26 has a specific seven-copy signature in these strains. Rao...
