| dc.description.abstract | Spoligotyping was used in the genotyping of 219 isolates of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, from patients of the Hospital Fernando Fonseca. This technique, based on PCR methodology, analyses a region of the chromosome specific of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, the DR locus (Direct Repeat). With the aid of an international database, we showed that the predominant Spoligotypes belonged to the LAM family (Latino-American Mediterranean), 29.2 %. The LAM 9 family, with 12.3 %, left us attentive to the possible import of the disease through populations from South America, were it has been frequently identified. The genotypic families T1 and Haarlem, with 6.4 % and 8.7 % respectively, represented a frequency typical to Europe. The Beijing family, with 1.4 %, may represent an emerging problem in our country due to recent immigration of Asian and Eastern European populations. Isolates with a Spoligotype of the M. bovis type were found at a high percentage, 3.7 %. In Europe, this infection is extremely rare suggesting the result may not be due to M. bovis infection but to M. bovis BCG (due to vaccination or eventual recombinant BCG based therapies), or M. africanum (due to the proximity of the two species). A high percentage of the Spoligotypes were not identified by the database, 21.4 %. This is the first study of this type amongst us and may be the starting point for the creation of a data base with important consequences on the national program against tuberculosis. | por |
