Typing Method for the QUB11a Locus of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: IS6110 Insertions and Tandem Repeat Analysis

Figure 2

Schematic representation of QUB11a loci with IS6110 insertions in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Sequence patterns for the 29 tested M. tuberculosis isolates were classified into 18 groups. Thin black line, square, and arrow indicate flanking sequence, tandem repeats, and IS6110, respectively. Triangles indicate BsmBI restriction enzyme recognition site in IS6110. Numbers located on the right side of the schematic indicate tandem repeat number of each sequence pattern.
