New generation genetic markers and techniques for the epidemiology and control of tuberculosis

Objective

DNA fingerprint techniques have been developed to type Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates for studying the molecular epidemiology of tuberculosis. The previous Subprojects have promoted optimal communication between EU partners, thus enabling standardization of these methods, and meaningful interpretation and comparison of results from epidemiological studies in different areas. In this project we plant maintain the established network in Europe and to use the DNA fingerprint databases to trace transmission of strains, including multidrug resistant strains internationally, and to study the natural history and control of tuberculosis. Furthermore, we aim to test the potential of novel genetic markers, derived from the recently established genome sequence of M. tuberculosis, and to explore Dacha and micro array technology to allow use of multiple genetic markers with different molecular clocks.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
