Abstract excerpt
We performed 12 loci MIRU-VNTR on 327 Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) isolates belonging to three major spoligotypes MANU1, CAS1_Delhi and Beijing from Mumbai, western India and two proximal rural locations. Complete allele and drug susceptibility data was available for 232 isolates. These included 143 MANU1 (ST100), 65 CAS1_Delhi (ST26) and 24 Beijing (ST1) isolates. Of the 232 isolates, 26 were rural...
