Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Based on our recent studies the prevalence of polyclonal infection in tuberculosis clinical specimens is more than 50% in Tehran, Iran. With this background, Spoligotyping was performed on clinical specimens and their respective cultures, and we examined whether mixed infections interfere with the results or not. RESULTS: Based on the Spoligotyping pattern, among the fourteen patients, 57.1% had...
