Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT: Available molecular epidemiological data from recent studies suggest significant genetic variation between the different lineages of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and the MTBC lineages might have adapted to different human populations. AIM: This study sought to determine the population structure of clinical MTBC isolates from the Volta Region of Ghana. METHODS: The MTBC isolates obtained from...
