The molecular epidemiology of tuberculosis (TB) in Finland was studied by spoligotyping 380 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates. The isolates were obtained during a 1-year study period from July 2000 to June 2001 and represented 90% of new M. tubercu

We evaluated the usefulness of the ligase chain reaction (LCR) (Abbott LCx Mycobacterium tuberculosis assay) during the initial diagnosis of tuberculosis. LCx was carried out in parallel with conventional methods for the analysis of clinical samples.

Two commercially available DNA line probe assays, Genotype MTBDR and INNO-LiPA Rif. TB, were evaluated for their abilities to detect resistance to isoniazid (INH) and rifampin (RIF) in 52 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates. The test results were com

Thirty-six pyrazinamide-resistant and eight pyrazinamide-susceptible Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from Russia were analyzed for their pncA mutations. Thirty-one (86.1%) of the resistant isolates had a mutation either in pncA or upstream of the

A pyrosequencing-based method for the rapid detection of isoniazid (INH) and rifampin (RIF) resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis was evaluated in clinical practice. The method can detect the INH resistance-causing katG315 mutation, and all mutati
