Multipleloci Variable-number Tandem Repeat Typing of Clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates from Zunyi, Guizhou Province of China

Introduction: Due to the emergence of multidrug/extensively drug-resistant TB and the lack of new anti-TB drugs, tracing the infectious source and monitoring the transmission of drug-resistant TB strains have become critically important.
