Table 1 Distinct spoligotyping patterns obtained for the 206 M. tuberculosis isolates under study

From: First insights into the genetic characteristics and drug resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis population collected during the first national tuberculosis prevalence survey of Lao PDR (2010–2011)

  1. *Spoligotype defined by SPOTCLUST (probability ≥0.9)
  2. aThe final identification in family/subfamily was determined by combining results of SITVITWEB (SpolDB4 database), SPOTCLUST and MIRU-VNTRplus (see Additional file 2: Table S1)
  3. bOne isolate with double allele on ETRA and one isolate with double allele on QUB26 were removed from the analysis
  4. cOne isolate with double allele on ETRA was removed from the analysis
  5. dOne isolate with hybridization for all 43 spacers + double alleles on ETRA and Mtub29 was removed from the analysis
