Molecular identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolated by RD typing from tuberculosis patients in Khorasan Razavi

Conclusion Using molecular identification of 100 submitted isolates in Khorasan Razavi province, it was found that all isolates are M. tuberculosis. The results showed that the sanatorium in this province was not infected with M. bovis and other members of the complex. This is either due to the widespread use of pasteurized milk and nonuse of milk contaminated with M. bovis or due to the lack of regular tuberculosis control and eradication programs in the city.
