Global dissemination of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis W-Beijing family strains.

Trends in microbiology - 1 Jan 2002

Bifani Pablo J, Mathema Barun, Kurepina Natalia E, Kreiswirth Barry N

Abstract excerpt

A large, genetically related group of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains, variously called W or Beijing, is distinguished by specific molecular markers and referred to as the W-Beijing family strains. Molecular epidemiological studies suggest that these strains are highly prevalent throughout Asia and the countries of the former Soviet Union and they have also been reported in several other geographical regions,...
