Genetic diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains circulating in Botswana.

Genetic diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains circulating in Botswana.

<h4>Background</h4>Molecular typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) isolates can inform Tuberculosis (TB) control programs on the relative proportion of transmission driving the TB epidemic. There is limited data on the M. tb genotypes that are circulating in Botswana. The aim of th...
