Mycobacterium tuberculosis Transmission between Cluster Members with Similar Fingerprint Patterns

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Transmission between Cluster Members with Similar Fingerprint Patterns

Molecular epidemiologic studies provide evidence of transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis within clusters of patients whose isolates share identical IS6110-DNA fingerprint patterns. However, M. tuberculosis transmission among patients whose isolates have similar but not identical DNA fingerprin...
