Abstract excerpt
To determine the genetic heterogenicity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated from patients with tuberculosis from different districts of the Republic of Tyva, 71 M. tuberculosis strains IS6110 according to the polymorphism of restriction fragment lengths were typed; of them 32 strains were spoligotyped. The study could genetically characterize the groups of M. tuberculosis strains circulating among patients...
