A nested variable number tandem repeats (VNTR) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was developed for the direct typing of meningococcal PCR-positive clinical samples. The system was evaluated on a panel of 43 clinical samples and isolates positive for Neisseria meningitidis. The results revealed that VNTR-PCR can be used directly in clinical samples, allowing fine typing of N. meningitidis.
建立了一种巢式可变数目串联重复(VNTR)聚合酶链反应(PCR)技术,用于直接对脑膜炎球菌 PCR 阳性临床标本进行分型。该系统在 43 份脑膜炎奈瑟菌阳性的临床标本和分离株上进行了评估。结果表明,VNTR-PCR 可直接用于临床标本,可对脑膜炎奈瑟菌进行精细分型。
