Clustering of Beijing genotype <it>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</it> isolates from the Mekong delta in Vietnam on the basis of variable number of tandem repeat versus restriction fragment length polymorphism typing

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In comparison to restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) typing, variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) typing is easier to perform, faster and yields results in a simple, numerical format. Therefore, this technique has gain...
