Recent Transmission Analysis of 66 MDR-TB Strains Using the 15-locus MIRU-VNTR Method

摘要

Tuberculosis(TB),caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex(MTBC)infection,has existed for millennia and remains a major global health problem.Research on the molecular epidemiology of transmission is an effective way to analyze TB transmission[1].Restriction fragment length polymorphism is a popular molecular technique that has been used to discriminate among clinical MTBC strains in past decades.
