Several genetic loci have been utilized to genotype isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A shortcoming of the most commonly used method, IS6110 fingerprinting, is that it does not adequately discriminate between isolates having few copies of IS6110. This study was undertaken to compare pTBN12 fingerprinting of polymorphic GC-rich repetitive sequence genes and spoligotyping of the direct repeat locus as secondary typing procedures for M. tuberculosis isolates having fewer than six copies of IS6110. A total of 88 isolates (100% of the isolates with fewer than six copies of IS6110 isolated in Arkansas during 1996 and 1997) were included in this study. Among the 88 isolates, 34 different IS6110 patterns were observed, 10 of which were shared by more than 1 isolate, involving a total of 64 isolates. The 64 isolates were subdivided into 13 clusters (containing 37 isolates) and 27 unique isolates based on a combination of IS6110 and pTBN12 fingerprinting and into 11 clusters (containing 51 isolates) and 13 unique isolates based on a combination of IS6110 fingerprinting and spoligotyping. Identical spoligotypes were found among isolates having different IS6110 patterns, as well as among isolates showing different pTBN12 patterns. In contrast, all isolates that had different IS6110 patterns were found to be unique by pTBN12 typing. The clustering rate was 73, 58, and 42%, respectively, for IS6110 fingerprinting alone, IS6110 fingerprinting and spoligotyping combined, and IS6110 and pTBN12 combined fingerprinting. The data indicate that the pTBN12 method has greater discriminating power among low-copy-number isolates than does spoligotyping.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009169 Mycobacterium tuberculosis A species of gram-positive, aerobic bacteria that produces TUBERCULOSIS in humans, other primates, CATTLE; DOGS; and some other animals which have contact with humans. Growth tends to be in serpentine, cordlike masses in which the bacilli show a parallel orientation. Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv
D011110 Polymorphism, Genetic The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level. Gene Polymorphism,Genetic Polymorphism,Polymorphism (Genetics),Genetic Polymorphisms,Gene Polymorphisms,Polymorphism, Gene,Polymorphisms (Genetics),Polymorphisms, Gene,Polymorphisms, Genetic
D012091 Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid Sequences of DNA or RNA that occur in multiple copies. There are several types: INTERSPERSED REPETITIVE SEQUENCES are copies of transposable elements (DNA TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS or RETROELEMENTS) dispersed throughout the genome. TERMINAL REPEAT SEQUENCES flank both ends of another sequence, for example, the long terminal repeats (LTRs) on RETROVIRUSES. Variations may be direct repeats, those occurring in the same direction, or inverted repeats, those opposite to each other in direction. TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES are copies which lie adjacent to each other, direct or inverted (INVERTED REPEAT SEQUENCES).

D004251 DNA Transposable Elements Discrete segments of DNA which can excise and reintegrate to another site in the genome. Most are inactive, i.e., have not been found to exist outside the integrated state. DNA transposable elements include bacterial IS (insertion sequence) elements, Tn elements, the maize controlling elements Ac and Ds, Drosophila P, gypsy, and pogo elements, the human Tigger elements and the Tc and mariner elements which are found throughout the animal kingdom.
