The patterns of variable-number tandem repeats (VNTR) genotypes of a clonal group of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing isolates with very similar IS6110-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns were studied. Differences between VNTR were mostly by a single repeat unit. However, a mu...
