Specificity of IS6110-based DNA fingerprinting and diagnostic techniques for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Restriction fragment length polymorphism and hybridization of DNA extracted from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, nontuberculous mycobacteria, and nonmycobacterial species with a probe derived from IS6110 confirmed that IS6110 was specific to M. tuberculosis complex. In addition, DNA amplification with IS6110-specific primers yielded a 181-bp fragment only in DNA from M. tuberculosis complex isolates.

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most important AIDS associated infectious diseases worldwide. It is a leading cause of illness and death among people with HIV/AIDS in resource-poor areas of the world. The annual incidence of TB among indigenous Iranians stands at 14 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. This study aimed to identify Mycobacterium infection among Iranian HIV positive patients. Two sputu...

Bovine tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium bovis is a highly infectious zoonotic disease. When transmitted to humans the disease symptoms cannot be distinguished from infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis the agent of TB in humans. Transmission of the disease to humans is through direct contact with diseased animals and consumption of unpasteurized milk and milk products. The diagnost...
متن کاملRapid identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex by a novel hybridization signal amplification method based on self-assembly of DNA-streptavidin nanoparticles
Rapid detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) is a critical step in controlling tuberculosis (TB). In this study, we used IS6110 as the specific identification target to develop a novel hybridization signal amplification method (HSAM) for the rapid and direct detection of MTBC from clinical sputum specimens. This system consists of magnetic bead-linked capture probes for target i...
متن کاملRapid discrimination of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex strains by ligation-mediated PCR fingerprint analysis.
A ligation-mediated PCR (LMPCR) method for the amplification of sequences flanking the IS6110 of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex has been developed. The method uses one primer specific for IS6110 and a second specific for a linker ligated to SalI-restricted genomic DNA. LMPCR is a rapid screening method, valuable for the fingerprinting of M. tuberculosis complex strains.
