Abstract excerpt
A total of 502 isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis collected in Taiwan were genotyped using a modified and high-throughput typing system involving mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units. The Hunter-Gaston discriminatory index improved significantly to 0.972 with the modified 15-locus scheme, including ETR-A, ETR-B, and ETR-C, compared with 0.951 for the previously reported 12-locus design.
