“…They represent as much as 60% of M. tuberculosis strains isolated in Italy (31), 70% of the strains from Sweden (10), and 80% of the strains from France and Portugal (6,11). Thus, the population structure revealed in our study is characteristic of a European country.…”

“…The included studies were performed in Spain (n=5) [23, 28, 30, 33, 34], Italy (n=1) [27], Germany (n=2) [21, 26], Belgium (n=1) [20], France (n=2) [22, 29], UK (n=1) [32], Sweden (n=1) [24], Denmark (n=1) [31], and Norway (n=1) [25] (table 1). …”

“…Five studies were hospital-based [20, 22, 27, 30, 32] and 10 were population-based [21, 2326, 28, 29, 31, 33, 34], performed from 1992 [31] to 2007 [28, 30, 34], with either retrospective [22, 33] or prospective [20, 21, 2632, 34] study designs. Two studies were nationwide (Denmark [31] and Norway [25]); the other 13 were regional or in an urban area.…”

“…Molecular epidemiology has revolutionized the study of tuberculosis (TB) transmission and the management of TB disease (Allix-Beguec et al, 2008; Bezanahary et al, 2008; David, 2008; Fica et al, 2008; Mathema et al, 2008). The fundamental principal behind the molecular epidemiology of TB is that, unlike other bacteria, Mtb replicates clonally and almost never transfers genes horizontally.…”

“…This together with the fact that Mtb underwent a genetic bottleneck recently, makes it relatively monomorphic (Gibson et al, 2008). Detectable genetic variation between different Mtb bacilli does evolve over time, however, which means Mtb strains with identical genotypes found in different patients are most likely the result of recent transmission (Allix-Beguec et al, 2008; Bezanahary et al, 2008; David, 2008; Fica et al, 2008; Mathema et al, 2008). Furthermore, Mtb strains with genotypes shown to be closely related by phylogenetic analysis (defined as differing by only one MIRU locus in this study) were probably derived from one another, giving rise to the notion of a clonal complex of Mtb strains that may, but not necessarily do, share a recent transmission event as well (Allix-Beguec et al, 2008; Weniger et al, 2010).…”
