Genomic Characterization of an Endemic Mycobacterium tuberculosis Strain: Evolutionary and Epidemiologic Implications

In a study of 302 Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates from the low-incidence Canadian-born population of Quebec, we characterized a large endemic strain family by using genomic deletions. The DS6(Quebec) deleted region (11.4 kb) defined a strain family of 143 isolates encompassing two subgr...
