From: Mycobacterium tuberculosis ecology in Venezuela: epidemiologic correlates of common spoligotypes and a large clonal cluster defined by MIRU-VNTR-24

Figure 4

Dendrogram of Venezuelan M. tuberculosis strains. Dendrogram combining MIRU-VNTR and Spoligotype results from representative strains generated by Bionumerics software (Applied Maths) using the unweighted pair group method of averages (UPGMA). MIRU patterns with 3 or fewer changes are considered clonal. Inside the box are the SIT 605 strains defined as clonal by spoligo and by 24 MIRU- VNTR loci. Only MIRU 12 results were available for the strains of SIT 605 isolated in New York.
