Clonality and micro-diversity of a nationwide spreading genotype of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Japan.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission routes can be estimated from genotypic analysis of clinical isolates from patients. In Japan, still a middle-incidence country of TB, a unique genotype strain designated as 'M-strain' has been isolated nationwide recently. To ascertain the history of...
