Variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) typing was done on 230 Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains, including 41 strains isolated from 17 groups of epidemiologically linked patients. By PCR amplification, 185 (80.4%) of the 230 strains were Beijing genotype strains. VNTR typing was performed using t

Variable numbers of tandem repeat (VNTR) loci and spoligotypes are molecular markers used to study genetic diversity of bacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Knowledge about the rate at which molecular fingerprints change, or the mutation rate, is important for interpreting molecular epidemio
