Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mycobacterium africanum, a member of the M. tuberculosis complex that is infrequently found outside of western Africa, is the cause of up to half of the tuberculosis cases there. METHODS: We genotyped mycobacterial isolates obtained from a study of patients with tuberculosis and their...
