Abstract
Mycobacterium leprae is the major etiologic agent of leprosy, and its genotype can be divided into four single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) types and 16 subtypes. Drug resistance and genotype of M. leprae are typically determined using PCR and Sanger DNA sequencing, however, this requires a great deal of effort. In this review, we present a rapid method that we developed to identify drug resistance and SNP genotype of M. leprae directly from clinical specimens by combining nested multiplex PCR with next generation sequence analysis.
