Using spoligotyping, we identified 13 genotypes and 17 orphan types among 160 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from patients in Valle del Cauca, Colombia. The Beijing genotype represented 15.6% of the isolates and was correlated with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, female sex of the patients, and residence in Buenaventura and may represent a new public health threat.
使用 spoligotyping 方法,我们在哥伦比亚考卡山谷的 160 株结核分枝杆菌分离株中鉴定出 13 种基因型和 17 种孤儿型。北京基因型占分离株的 15.6%,与耐多药结核病、患者的女性性别和居住在布埃纳文图拉有关,可能代表新的公共卫生威胁。
