Abstract
⺠We observed a more diverse population structure of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from Sichuan. ⺠Beijing lineage was the predominant and largest group of MDR-TB. ⺠Non-Beijing lineages also accounted for the high level of prevalence of MDR-TB in Sichuan. ⺠Twenty four-locus MIRU-VNTR presented an excellent discriminatory power (HGI = 0.999).
