Genetic diversity and population structure of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in HIV-1-infected compared with uninfected individuals in Burkina Faso Godreuil Sylvain auteur aut IRD Renaud François auteur aut IRD Van de Perre P. auteur aut IRD Carriere C. auteur aut IRD Torrea G. auteur aut IRD Banuls Anne-Laure auteur aut IRD text journalArticle eng HIV-1 infection and HIV-1-induced immune deficiency may play a role in selecting particular Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) strains (i.e. genotypes). We compared 43 MTB isolates obtained from HIV-1-infected patients with 77 MTB isolates obtained from HIV-1-uninfected patients in Burkina Faso, by means of DNA fingerprinting methods (MIRU-VNTR plus spoligotyping). This study suggests a lack of structure of the MTB population caused by HIV-1 infection and a similar genetic diversity of MTB in HIV-1-infected compared with uninfected individuals. specialized 050 052 Aids 21 2 248-250 2007 0269-9370 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/PAR00001420 10.1097/QAD.0b013e328011ec64 0269-9370 [F B010053286] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/PAR00001420 IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2007-03-30 2017-08-23 PAR00001420 fre
