(a) Amplification patterns obtained from EG-MDR strain-specific multiplex ASO-PCR results for control EG-MDR and non-EG-MDR strains. Amplicons corresponding to each of four targeted SNPs are indicated. (b) Selection of EG-MDR and non-EG-MDR strains. ASO, allele-specific oligonucleotide; EG-MDR, multidrug-resistant prevalent tuberculosis strain in Equatorial Guinea; MW, 100 bp ladder; SNP, single nucleotide polymorphism.

Results obtained after applying EG-MDR strain-specific multiplex ASO-PCR to selection of historical isolates. Isolates identified as EG-MDR or non-EG-MDR are indicated. ASO, allele-specific oligonucleotide; EG-MDR, multidrug-resistant prevalent tuberculosis strain in Equatorial Guinea; MW, 50 bp ladder.
