We used 909 strains to compare the population structures of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing family between different birth-year cohorts in Japan. The results revealed that the spread of a modern sublineage that has high transmissibility is currently increasing, while the spread of an ancient sublineage, STK, has significantly decreased in younger generations.
我们使用了 909 株菌株,比较了日本不同出生年份队列中结核分枝杆菌北京家族的种群结构。结果表明,具有高传染性的现代亚谱系的传播正在增加,而古老的 STK 亚谱系的传播在年轻一代中显著减少。
