Abstract
⺠MIRU-VNTR, spoligotyping and MLST were tested for M. tuberculosis. ⺠In this study, MLST was fully tested for this species for the first time. ⺠Results indicated that MLST is not a suitable method to differentiate M. tuberculosis. ⺠MIRU-VNTR showed better discriminatory power when compared to spoligotyping and MLST. ⺠A combination of MIRU-VNTR and spoligotyping provided best discriminatory power.
