Issue Date: | 2012 | Journal: | Journal of Clinical Microbiology | Abstract: | The development of a rapid test to identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing isolates and specifically strain GC1237, coming from a sub-Saharan country, is needed due to its alarming wide spread on Gran Canaria Island (Spain). A rapid test that detects IS6110 present between dnaA and dnaN in the Beijing strains and in a specific site for GC1237 (Rv2180c) has been developed. This test would be a useful tool in the surveillance of subsequent cases. | URI: | https://accedacris.ulpgc.es/handle/10553/49200 | ISSN: | 0095-1137 | DOI: | 10.1128/JCM.06314-11 | Source: | Journal of Clinical Microbiology[ISSN 0095-1137],v. 50(2), p. 516-518 (Febrero 2012) |
