To determine whether intact pks15/1 is unique to the W-Beijing family, we investigated 147 Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains with different IS6110 genotypes. Intact pks15/1 was found in 87.8% of cerebrospinal fluid and 84.9% of sputum isolates. It was found not only in W-Beijing strains (approximate, equals 97%) but also in other genotypes (38.5%-100%).
为了确定完整的pks15/1是否为W-北京家族所特有,我们研究了147株具有不同IS6110基因型的结核分枝杆菌菌株。在87.8%的脑脊液分离株和84.9%的痰液分离株中发现了完整的pks15/1。它不仅在W-北京菌株中被发现(约等于97%),也在其他基因型中被发现(38.5%-100%)。
