Evaluation of a novel PCR based diagnostic assay for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum specimens
(ACM, 1996-06-18)We report on a PCR-based assay we have developed for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum samples. One hundred sputum specimens, which included 34 culture-positive and 66 culture-negative specimens, were ... -
Multiplex pcr for identifying mycobacterial isolates.
(BMJ, 1995-03-01)Aims-To develop a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method to facilitate identification of mycobacterial isolates. Methods-Type strains of 14 species of mycobacteria and 56 clinical isolates were lysed by boiling ... -
Use of polymerase chain reaction for early identification of mycobacterium tuberculosis in positive cultures.
(BMJ, 1992-07-01)Aims: To develop a readily applicable polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based technique which would permit the identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates from Bactec phials at an earlier stage than currently ...
