Population Structure among Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates from Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients in Colombia.

Unexpectedly high proportion of ancestral Manu genotype Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains cultured from tuberculosis patients in Egypt.... All

By using RFLP IS6110 to further characterize the major cluster identi- fied in our study which comprised isolates from both group I and II, (the SIT 33 belonging to the LAM family),

We performed spoligotyping on 114 strains of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) complex that had been isolated from patients in Minas Gerais Health Units during 2004.. Seven

The objective of the present study was to genotypically characterize MTBC clinical isolates obtained from an indigenous population in Puerto Nariño—Amazonas (Colombia), using

The genotypic clade designations, the percentage distribution of all SITs observed in this study; for each of the SIT shown, their binary/octal description, the number

A comparison with the SITVIT2 inter- national database showed that all the 31 patterns could be classified as Shared-types (SITs) in this database; briefly, 26/31 SITs (n =

tuberculosis complex among clinical isolates of pulmonary TB patients from a predominantly pastoralist area in Northeast Ethiopia and compared the strains with SITVIT2

Since both 24-locus MIRU-VNTR and spoligotyping had a tendency to overestimate the proportion of clustered isolates of Beijing family which could be easily overcome by
