Abstract
The genetic drug resistance profile of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from North-western Tanzania comprises of the common previously reported mutations. The prevalence of resistance to first and second line drugs including MDR-TB is low. Six drug resistant strains exhibited different spoligotypes, suggesting limited transmission of drug resistant strains in the region.
