Abstract excerpt

Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat (MIRU-VNTR) genotyping of over 3300 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from the north of England has identified large clusters of strains which share common profiles. However, many apparent clusters identified when typed using the existing 15 loci lack clear epidemiological links. This study seeks to discover whether or not six additional...
