Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Standard 24-locus Mycobacterial Interspersed Repetitive Unit Variable Number Tandem Repeat (MIRU-VNTR) typing allows to get an improved resolution power for tracing TB transmission and predicting different strain (sub) lineages in a community. METHODOLOGY: During 2010-2012, a total of...
