24 loci MIRU-VNTR Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat (MIRU-VNTR) sequencing. Each-digit represents the number of repeats at a particular locus according to the following order of the loci: MIRU02 - Mtub04 – ETRC - MIRU04 - MIRU40 - MIRU10 - MIRU16 -Mtub21 - MIRU20 - QUB11b – ETRA - Mtub29 - Mtub30 – ETRB - MIRU23 - MIRU24 - MIRU26 - MIRU27 - Mtub34 - MIRU31 - Mtub39 - QUB26 - QUB4156 - MIRU39.
