| Title | Mycobacterial Lineages Causing Pulmonary and Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis, Ethiopia |
| 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. |
