Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the distribution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis genotypes across Africa. METHODS: The SITVIT2 global repository and PUBMED were searched for spoligotype and published genotype data respectively, of M. tuberculosis from Africa. M. tuberculosis lineages in Africa were described and compared across regions and with those from 7 European and 6 South-Asian countries. Further analysis of the...
