Abstract
Sixty-eight drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates (44.2% of all resistant cases) were analyzed by IS6110 restriction fragment length polymorphism fingerprinting and spoligotyping to provide a deeper insight into the status of drug-resistant tuberculosis in Hungary. A total of 54.4% of the drug-resistant cases and 75% of the multidrug-resistant cases could be clustered. Analysis of the spoligotyping patterns of the strains revealed a high rate (66.2%) of infection by the Haarlem genotype, while none of the patients were infected by the Beijing genotype. The magnitude and the dynamics of drug-resistant tuberculosis are underestimated in Hungary.Entities:
