چکیده

A variable-number tandem-repeat genotyping method for Mycobacterium tuberculosis was converted to run in a multiplex PCR format on a 12-well microfluidic laboratory chip. Epidemiologically and genotypically distinct isolate clusters of M. tuberculosis were identified. This rapid genotyping method has potential application in smaller clinical laboratories and public health field investigations.

Rapid genotypic assays to identify drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis in South Africa.

OBJECTIVES Molecular assays to detect drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis are more rapid than standard drug susceptibility testing. To evaluate the efficacy of such assays in this setting, the GenoType MTBDRplus assay (HAIN Lifescience) and multiplex allele-specific PCR assays were carried out. METHODS The GenoType MTBDRplus assay was evaluated for the detection of rifampicin and is...

One-tube multiplex PCR method for rapid identification of mycobacterium tuberculosis.

A rapid, inexpensive, simple, and accurate multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed in a single tube for identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Assessment of sensitivity and specificity of simple PCR was performed with 116 strains of M. tuberculosis complex (MTC) and 144 strains of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) compared with the biochemical method. Specific amplificati...

Optimization of standard in-house 24-locus variable-number tandem-repeat typing for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and its direct application to clinical material.

Variable-number tandem-repeat (VNTR) typing with a panel of 24 loci is the current gold standard in the molecular typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates. However, because of technical problems, a part of the loci often cannot be amplified by multiplex PCRs. Therefore, a considerable number of single-locus PCRs have to be performed for the loci with missing results, which impairs ...
