Usefulness of IS6110-based restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis in fingerprinting of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates in North India

Conclusion In this study, we found that the majority of isolates were having multiple copy numbers of IS6110 element and showed a very diverse pattern. These results showed that the IS6110-RFLP analysis is still a promising genotyping method and has good discriminatory power to differentiate strains of MTB isolates.
