Mycobacterial lineages causing pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, Ethiopia.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Molecular typing of 964 specimens from patients in Ethiopia with lymph node or pulmonary tuberculosis showed a similar distribution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains between the 2 disease manifestations and a minimal role for M. bovis. We report a novel phylogenetic lineage of M. tuberculosis strongly associated with the Horn of Africa.
