Abstract
SUMMARYThe results of typing of 121 strains in theMycobacterium tuberculosiscomplex by PFGE are presented. Every isolate from patients in Scotland over a 3-month period forM. tuberculosisand for 1 year forM. boviswere included along with several laboratory strains including those of BCG. The PFGE results suggest that the population structure of all the strains in this complex is distinctly simple with limited genetic diversity and also suggest thatM. bovisis not a distinct species.
