Abstract excerpt

In this study, a total of 204 Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNAs from Sicily (n = 144) and Sardinia (n = 60) were studied by three genotyping methods. Results were analyzed both within and across islands, to define the phylogeographical specificities of the genotypes, look for their diversity and infer a molecular evolutionary scenario. A strong link between geography and tuberculosis genotypes was observed in...
