Variable-number tandem-repeat typing for Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates contributes to evidence-based tuberculosis control. However, cumbersome PCR procedures for the typing have disturbed routine analyses. We proposed a convenient PCR method for the typing using a PCR master mix that provides rapidity and long-term stability of the frozen PCR cocktail.
