Abstract excerpt
In the present study, genetic diversity analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated from patients attending a tertiary care hospital, North India, has been attempted. Eighty three isolates of M. tuberculosis were subjected to DNA fingerprinting using spoligotyping and IS6110-RFLP techniques. Spoligotype patterns showed that central Asian (32.5%), ill defined T (13.2%) and Beijing (10.8%) families were...
