A Mycobacterium tuberculosis cluster demonstrating the use of genotyping in urban tuberculosis control.

BMC infectious diseases - 8 Sept 2009

de Vries Gerard, van Hest Rob A H, Burdo Conny C A, van Soolingen Dick, Richardus Jan H

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: DNA fingerprinting of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates offers better opportunities to study links between tuberculosis (TB) cases and can highlight relevant issues in urban TB control in low-endemic countries. METHODS: A medium-sized molecular cluster of TB cases with identical DNA fingerprints was used for the development of a visual presentation of epidemiologic links between cases. RESULTS: Of...
