Article Synopsis
- Molecular genotyping methods revealed that over 15% of pulmonary tuberculosis patients had mixed infections with different Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains, highlighting the complexity of TB infections.
- A PCR-based genotyping tool was developed to assess strains from two different culture media, MGIT and Löwenstein-Jensen (LJ), showing that the culture medium can affect detection rates.
- The study found that the Beijing and Haarlem strain genotypes were more prevalent in mixed infections and that LJ media was more effective than MGIT in identifying these mixed infections.
