Spoligotypes of the 65 strains of M. tuberculosis analyzed, drug susceptibility patterns, and type of mutation on the rpoB gene conferring rifampin resistance (rpoB). H = isoniazid; R = rifampin; E = ethambutol; Z = pyrazinamide; S = streptomycin. Black fields indicate resistance; blank ones susceptibility. S = wild type (RMPS); mutations (RMPR): DS1; DS2; DS3; DS4; DS5; R2; R4a; R4b; R5; ND = not done. Group A = nonresponders; Group B = new cases; and Group C = relapsed cases.
