We report the use of typing based on a variable number of tandem repeats of genetic elements called "mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units" to clarify a puzzling situation involving a patient with an exceptional case of spondylodiskitis that initially led to the suspicion of a possible event of laboratory cross-contamination with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
我们报告了基于一种名为“分枝杆菌散布重复单位”的遗传元件串联重复数目的分型方法的应用,以阐明一个令人困惑的情况,该情况涉及一名患有特殊类型脊椎椎间盘炎的患者,最初怀疑可能存在与结核分枝杆菌的实验室交叉污染事件。
