Genetic diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Mbarara, South Western Uganda.

African health sciences - 1 Dec 2010

Bazira J, Matte M, Asiimwe B B, Joloba L M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: We determined the genetic diversity of mycobacteria isolated from tuberculosis patients in Mbarara Uganda, using region of difference (RD) analysis and spacer oligonucleotide typing (spoligotyping). METHODS: Sputum samples were cultured on Lowenstein Jensen media. The isolates were characterized using RD analysis and spoligotyping. RESULTS: The majority (92.8%) of the patients were new cases, 60% were...
