Genotypic diversity and drug susceptibility patterns among M. tuberculosis complex isolates from South-Western Ghana.
<h4>Objective</h4>The aim of this study was to use spoligotyping and large sequence polymorphism (LSP) to study the population structure of M. tuberculosis complex (MTBC) isolates.<h4>Methods</h4>MTBC isolates were identified using standard biochemical procedures, IS6110 PCR,...
