Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and its human host are the most competent organisms with co-evolutionary trajectory. This review determined the phylogeography, clinical phenotype-related genotype and transmission dynamics of MTBC in Africa.METHODS: Spoligotyping and mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units-variable number tandem repeats (MIRU-VNTR) based articles from Africa published in...
