Abstract excerpt
Most multidrug-resistant (MDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates in Russia belong to the Beijing or Latino-American and Mediterranean (LAM) spoligotype families. The objective of this study was to investigate possible associations between genotype and the frequencies of mutations that confer drug resistance in a population that has two large families of circulating strains. Spoligotyping, IS6110 restriction...
