Journal ArticleDOI

Worldwide occurrence of Beijing/W strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: a systematic review.

TL;DR: Although few reports have measured trends in prevalence, the ubiquity of the Beijing strains and their frequent association with outbreaks and drug resistance underline their importance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Snapshot of Moving and Expanding Clones of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Their Global Distribution Assessed by Spoligotyping in an International Study

TL;DR: To facilitate the analysis of hundreds of spoligotypes each made up of a binary succession of 43 bits of information, a number of major and minor visual rules were also defined to define 36 major clades (or families) of M. tuberculosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic Deletions Classify the Beijing/W Strains as a Distinct Genetic Lineage of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

TL;DR: It is shown that some of these LSPs are unique event polymorphisms that can be used to define and subdivide the Beijing/W family and further divided this family into four monophyletic subgroups, demonstrating a deeper population structure than previously appreciated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Definition of the Beijing/W lineage of Mycobacterium tuberculosis on the basis of genetic markers.

TL;DR: A standardized definition for the identification of M. tuberculosis strains belonging to the Beijing/W lineage, as described in this work, will facilitate further studies on the spread and characterization of this widespread genotype family of M., tuberculosis strains.
