Spoligotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates from Pakistan Reveals Predominance of Central Asian Strain 1 and Beijing Isolates
Z Hasan, M Tanveer, A Kanji, Q Hasan… - Journal of clinical …, 2006 - Am Soc Microbiol
The estimated incidence of tuberculosis in Pakistan is 181 per 100,000; however, there is
limited information on Mycobacterium tuberculosis genotypes circulating in the country. We
studied 314 M. tuberculosis clinical isolates; of these, 197 (63%) isolates grouped into 22
different clusters, while 119 (37%) had unique spoligotypes. Eighty-nine percent of the
isolates were pulmonary (Pul), and 11% were extrapulmonary (E-Pul). We identified Central
Asian Strain (CAS), Beijing, T1, Latin American-Mediterranean, and East African-Indian …
