In a 7-year population-based study in Malawi, we showed that Beijing genotype tuberculosis (TB) increased as a proportion of TB cases. All the Beijing genotype strains were fully drug sensitive. Contact histories, TB type, and case-fatality rates were similar for Beijing and non-Beijing genotype TB.
**********
The Beijing genotype family of Mycobacterium tuberculosis may be spreading worldwide. The genotype may be particularly virulent and have a predilection for developing drug resistance; the multidrug-resistant W strain is a member of this family (1). Few studies have ...
