Abstract excerpt
Population genetic analysis using variable-number tandem repeat (VNTR) data of 23 loci (15 "optimized MIRU" loci and eight "Beijing option" loci) was done on Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing lineage strains isolated in Japan. These strains were divided into Beijing subgroups (B(SUB)) B1-B5 and T2 by minimum spanning tree (MST) analysis. The Φ(PT) values among the B(SUB), a measure of their molecular variance,...
