Molecular epidemiology of tuberculosis in Montreal.

Molecular markers provide an important method for detecting tuberculosis (TB) transmission that has been followed by rapid progression to active disease.[1][1] Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been used to confirm outbreaks, through the
