摘要：

We illustrate how genotyping of mycobacterial strains contributed to the discovery of an undetected outbreak of tuberculosis in a hospital ward, ruling out misleading assumptions of transmission chains. Genotyping should be taken into account in routine tests for the control of tuberculosis. Copyright (C) 2012 by the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc.
