چکیده
Objective The present work studied molecular typing methods used for Mycobacterium tuberculosis characterization in order to learn about their advantages, disadvantages and discrimination power as regards the implementation of tuberculosis surveillance and control programs. Methods To analyze the discrimination power of each method we studied articles that included Hunter-Gaston discrimination index (HGDI) values or data allowing their calculation. Results The highest discrimination power was registered for LM-PCR followed by FLiP and 15-loci MIRU. The most frequently used methods showed an HGDI of 0.9491, 0.9519 and 0.8630 for 12-loci MIRU, RFLP-IS6110 and spoligotyping, respectively. Conclusion M. tuberculosis isolates molecular characterization requires at least two molecular markers to discriminate non related isolates, as well as previous analysis to their implementation.

Background and Aims: Unlike many global efforts to eradicate tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium, it remains as a life-threatening infection with a worldwide incidence of 1.5 million cases each year. However, due to the lack of information about Mycobacterium tuberculosis characterization, more studies are required to evaluate strain diversity and epidemiology of tuberculosis to improve the th...

Background and Objective: Identification of atypical mycobacterium (Non tuberculosis Mycobacterium NTM) is important because of the worldwide propagation of these organisms. Recently, molecular studies have identified the specific loci for mycobacterium species by DNA - finger printing methods, but these methods are time-consuming and expensive. In this study, in addition to hsp65 PCR-RFLP meth...

Abstract Tuberculosis is one of the main health care problems worldwide, so that one third of world population are contaminated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It causes 3.1 million deaths annually, therefore, controlling tuberculosis is one the priorities of the world health organization. To control tuberculosis, identifying sources of infection is very important. Patients with active tube...
