  • Title: Multiple samples improve the sensitivity for detection of mixed Mycobacterium infections.
    Author: Peng Y, Yang C, Li X, Luo T, Li F, Gao Q.
    Journal: Tuberculosis (Edinb); 2013 Sep; 93(5):548-50. PubMed ID: 23838118.
    Abstract:
    By using VNTR genotyping, mixed infections of Mycobacterium tuberculosis were detected in 11.2% of cases in a prospective study in Heilongjiang China, a setting with a high prevalence (87.5%) of Beijing family strains. If only one sputum sample had been collected, the study would have underestimated the fraction of mixed infections by 50%.
