Abstract excerpt
The aim of the present study was to compare polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods--spoligotyping and mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units (MIRU) typing--with the gold-standard IS6110 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis in 101 isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to determine the genetic diversity of M. tuberculosis clinical isolates from Delhi, North India. Spoligotyping...
