- A total of 281 isolates grouped into 90 different spolygotype patterns. Of the 90 spolygtype pattern, 45 were registered in the international database while 45 of the strains were not found in the database. Of these 90 strains, 32 were clustered strains consisting of 223 (79.3%) isolates while 58 strains were found as single isolate. The dominantly found strains were SIT 53, SIT 149, and SIT 54 consisting of 43, 37 and 34 isolates, respectively. Classification of the spoligotype patterns using TB-insight RUN TB-Lineage showed that 86.8%, 6.4%, 5.3%, 1.4% of the isolates belonged to the Euro-American lineage, East-African-Indian, Indo-oceanic and M. africanum, respectively.
