title: A simple method of DNA extraction from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
abstract: The application of molecular biology methods has contributed significant insight into the epidemiology of infections caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, most of the techniques remain out of reach of laboratories in the tropics. We describe here a simple method for extraction of DNA from the pathogen, a first step in the application of molecular biology tools.
