a
All the spoligotypes were typical of M. tuberculosis rather than M. bovis.
b
The single-copy strains formed three clusters, depending on the position of the single band on the Southern blots.
c
Spoligotyping was performed at an intermediate stage in the project. The sample tested represents the total number of single-copy isolates at the time.
