Direct Identification of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis from Sputum on Ziehl-Neelsen Acid Fast Stained Slides by Use of Silica-Based Filter Combined with Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay

This paper describes a method for isolation of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from Ziehl-Neelsen stained sputum smears on glass slides; and isolated DNA was used for the IS6110 polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based identification of M. tuberculosis. A total of 221 samples from newly diagnosed suspected...
