Abstract excerpt

SETTING: Rubaga Division, Kampala, Uganda. OBJECTIVE: To use polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based regions of difference (RD) analysis to study the species diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates from a community-based sample of tuberculosis (TB) patients from Rubaga and to perform long sequence polymorphism (LSP) analysis to further characterise the M. tuberculosis Uganda genotype, a group of...
