A ligation-mediated PCR (LMPCR) method for the amplification of sequences flanking the IS6110 of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex has been developed. The method uses one primer specific for IS6110 and a second specific for a linker ligated to SalI-restricted genomic DNA. LMPCR is a rapid screening method, valuable for the fingerprinting of M. tuberculosis complex strains.
