TL;DR: A discriminatory subset of 15 loci with the highest evolutionary rates was defined that concentrated 96% of the total resolution obtained with the full 24-locus set, and its predictive value for evaluating M. tuberculosis transmission was found to be equal to that of IS6110 restriction fragment length polymorphism typing.

TL;DR: The results suggests the existence of fine geographical genetic clines within MTC populations, that could mirror the passed and present Homo sapiens sapiens demographical and mycobacterial co-evolutionary history whose structure could be further reconstructed and modelled, thereby providing a large-scale conceptual framework of the global TB Epidemiologic Network.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the Epidemiological Relevance of Variable-Number Tandem-Repeat Genotyping of Mycobacterium bovis and Comparison of the Method with IS6110 Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis and Spoligotyping
Caroline Allix,Karl Walravens,Claude Saegerman,Jacques Godfroid,Philip Supply,Maryse Fauville-Dufaux +5 more
TL;DR: Results support MIRU-VNTR typing as a convenient and discriminatory technique for analysis of the population structure of M. bovis in much greater detail and for addressing some still unresolved issues in the epidemiology of the pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utility of Fast Mycobacterial Interspersed Repetitive Unit—Variable Number Tandem Repeat Genotyping in Clinical Mycobacteriological Analysis
TL;DR: The utility of this genotyping technique for quick and accurate resolution of problems commonly encountered in clinical mycobacteriology is illustrated by its application to 3 typical clinical situations encountered in the authors' laboratory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates in two cities of Turkey: description of a new family of genotypes that is phylogeographically specific for Asia Minor.

TL;DR: A new phylogeographically-specific clone of M. tuberculosis is described, designated LAM7-TUR, and search in various databases confirms the likely Turkish-phylogeographical specificity of this clonal complex.
