A heminested inverse PCR (HIP) for the amplification of sequences flanking the Mycobacterium tuberculosis insertion sequence IS6110 has been developed. The method depends upon primers that anneal to IS6110 at sites between its 5' end and the closest BsrFI site. The accuracy of HIP was demonstrated by the amplification of sequences within plasmid constructs carrying one or two copies of the insertion sequence IS986 in different orientations. The identities of the amplicons produced from strains carrying a single copy of IS6110 were verified by nucleotide sequencing. Analyses of 204 M. tuberculosis strains including those involved in outbreaks showed that IS6110 HIP is highly discriminatory and reproducible. HIP fingerprinting of these 204 strains generated 136 distinct types, and its discriminatory power was equivalent to that of standard restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. The method is therefore of value for the rapid fingerprinting of M. tuberculosis strains for epidemiological purposes.
