  • Title: Association of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing genotype with tuberculosis relapse in Singapore.
    Author: Sun YJ, Lee AS, Wong SY, Paton NI.
    Journal: Epidemiol Infect; 2006 Apr; 134(2):329-32. PubMed ID: 16207386.
    Abstract:
    The relationship of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing genotype with tuberculosis relapse was examined. Beijing strains were detected from 32 out of 45 (71%) relapsed cases and 148 out of 290 (51%) non-relapsed cases. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that Beijing genotype was significantly associated with tuberculosis relapse (OR 2.64, 95% CI 1.30-5.34, P=0.005).
