Recent Transmission and Prevalent Characterization of the Beijing Family Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Jiangxi, China.

ABSTRACT: The Beijing genotype is the most common type of tuberculosis in Jiangxi Province, China. The association of population characteristics and their prevalence in the development of recent transmission is still unclear. 1,433 isolates were subjected to drug-resistant tests and MIRU-VNTR analysis. We compared differences in demographic characteristics and drug resistance patterns between the Beijing and non-Beijing family strains. We also explored the association of the clustering rate with the Beijing genotype of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The Beijing genotype was dominant (78.16%). The results of MIRU-VNTR showed that 775 of 1,433 strains have unique patterns, and the remaining gather into 103 clusters. A recent transmission rate was 31.54% (452/1,433). The Beijing genotype strains we
