<jats:p>
We describe a multiplex PCR assay to detect the
<jats:named-content content-type="genus-species">Mycobacterium tuberculosis</jats:named-content>
Beijing genotype variant B0/W148, which is considered a “successful” clone of
<jats:named-content content-type="genus-species">M. tuberculosis</jats:named-content>
, widespread in Russia. Specificity and sensitivity of the assay were 100% based on the analysis of a collection of 516
<jats:named-content content-type="genus-species">M. tuberculosis</jats:named-content>
isolates of different genotypes and origins. This assay may be used for accurate and simple detection and surveillance of this clinically and epidemiologically important variant of
<jats:named-content content-type="genus-species">M. tuberculosis</jats:named-content>
.
