Drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) is a major challenge to TB control strategy worldwide. Analysis of genetic polymorphism among drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) strains may help provide some insight into the transmission dynamics of these strains. Spoligotyping is a widely used technique to identify genetic polymorphism, based on 43 known spacers interspersed between direct repeat regions....
