Dendrogram of 51 isolates produced following Dice and unweighted pair group method with arithmetic average analysis of IS6110 RFLP and distribution of the isolates according to spoligotype family and phenotype variants. Spoligotype families are according to Sebban et al. (6). UR, previously unreported spoligotype families. a, shared type 292; b, variant 1, Asian human M. tuberculosis variant (susceptible to TCH, positive niacin accumulation, nitrate reduction, and pyrazinamidase activity tests); variant 7, classical human M. tuberculosis variant (resistant to TCH, positive niacin accumulation, nitrate reduction, and pyrazinamidase activity tests); variants 2 to 6, variants between classical and Asian human M. tuberculosis strains.
