IS6100 is an insertion sequence of the IS3 family and it is present in multiple copies in the chromosome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Four to 15 copies are present in various strains of M. tuberculosis. In this study, the value of IS6110 as an epidemiological marker of tuberculosis was examined. Unrelated clinical strains from Greek patients presented, in restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, a high degree of polymorphism, whereas patterns of related clinical strains from familial outbreaks were identical. Since RFLP analysis with acetylaminofluorene labeled IS6110 as the probe gave satisfactory results, it is suggested that this non-radioactive probe can be used in hospitals and health centres for the epidemiological survey of M. tuberculosis infections.

D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.

D015342 DNA Probes Species- or subspecies-specific DNA (including COMPLEMENTARY DNA; conserved genes, whole chromosomes, or whole genomes) used in hybridization studies in order to identify microorganisms, to measure DNA-DNA homologies, to group subspecies, etc. The DNA probe hybridizes with a specific mRNA, if present. Conventional techniques used for testing for the hybridization product include dot blot assays, Southern blot assays, and DNA:RNA hybrid-specific antibody tests. Conventional labels for the DNA probe include the radioisotope labels 32P and 125I and the chemical label biotin. The use of DNA probes provides a specific, sensitive, rapid, and inexpensive replacement for cell culture techniques for diagnosing infections.

D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
