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.
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
Anthony G. Tsolaki,Sebastien Gagneux,Alexander S. Pym,Yves-Olivier Luc Goguet de la Salmonière,Barry N. Kreiswirth,Dick van Soolingen,Peter M. Small +6 more
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.
Kristin Kremer,Judith R. Glynn,Troels Lillebaek,Stefan Niemann,Natalia Kurepina,Barry N. Kreiswirth,Pablo Bifani,Dick van Soolingen +7 more
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.
