Using geographic information system and molecular tools, we characterized a possible outbreak of tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing strain in 17 patients in Cotonou, Benin, during July 2005-October 2006. Most patients lived or worked in the same area and frequented the same local drinking bar. The isolates were streptomycin resistant.
我们运用地理信息系统和分子工具,对2005年7月至2006年10月期间在贝宁科托努的17名患者中可能由结核分枝杆菌北京菌株引起的结核病暴发进行了特征分析。大多数患者居住或工作在同一区域,且常去同一家当地酒吧。分离出的菌株对链霉素耐药。
