Abstract excerpt

A molecular epidemiologic study of 35 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from 19 patients was conducted to define a nosocomial outbreak of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in St. Petersburg, Russia. IS 6110-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) fingerprinting, together with investigations to detect mutations conferring drug resistance, revealed relationships between the isolates and links between the...
