  • Title: Safe Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA extraction method that does not compromise integrity.
    Author: Warren R, de Kock M, Engelke E, Myburgh R, Gey van Pittius N, Victor T, van Helden P.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2006 Jan; 44(1):254-6. PubMed ID: 16390984.
    Abstract:
    Concern has been raised about the efficacy of the heat killing of mycobacteria during the isolation of DNA. We demonstrate a method that allows for the efficient killing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis without compromising DNA integrity for subsequent molecular investigation. This method reduces the risk of infection to the research scientist.
