Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To study the evolutionary relationship of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from 13 patients in a large outbreak of isoniazid-resistant tuberculosis in London. METHODS: Genotypic and phenotypic susceptibility tests were performed. Molecular genotyping using restriction fragment leng...
