Abstract excerpt

SETTING: The Netherlands, 1995-2000. OBJECTIVES: To describe the contribution of 6 years of nationwide DNA fingerprint surveillance to tuberculosis control in general and to conventional contact investigations in particular. DESIGN: All Mycobacterium tuberculosis cultures are subjected to standardised IS6110-based RFLP typing, and clustered cases are systematically reported to the regional TB services involved...
