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,...

Spoligotyping sub-lineages identified among the MTBss included Haarlem (N = 15, 11.53%), Ghana (N = 22, 16.92%), Beijing (4, 3.08%), EAI (4, 3.08%), Uganda I (4, 3.08%), LAM (2, 1.54%), X (N = 1, 0.77%) and S (2, 1.54%).
