Genotypic diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from North-Central Indian population.

CONCLUSION: The present study highlighted the predominance of EAI3_IND/SIT11 genotype in Sahariya tribe followed by CAS1_Delhi/SIT26 genotype. Combined approach of MIRU-VNTR typing and spoligotyping was observed more favourable in discrimination of MTB genotypes. Further, longitudinal studies using whole genome sequencing can provide more insights into genetic diversity, drug resistance and transmission dynamics of these prevalent genotypes.
