Detection of multiple strains of <it>Mycobacterium tuberculosis </it>using MIRU-VNTR in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in Kampala, Uganda

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Many studies using DNA fingerprinting to differentiate <it>Mycobacterium tuberculosis </it>(MTB) strains reveal single strains in cultures, suggesting that most disease is caused by infection with a single strain. However...
