Insights into the genetic diversity of <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> in Tanzania

2018-10-12

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Human tuberculosis (TB) is caused by seven phylogenetic lineages of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), Lineage 1–7. Recent advances in rapid genotyping of MTBC based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), allow for rapid and phylogenetically robust strain classification, paving the way for defining genotype-phenotype relationships in clinical settings. Such studies have reveale...
