Table 1 Description of 36 SITs and corresponding spoligotyping defined lineages/sublineages starting from a total of 121 M. tuberculosis strains isolated in Kampala, Uganda

From: Predominance of Uganda genotype of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated from Ugandan patients with tuberculous lymphadenitis

  1. aNewly created SITs are marked by lowercase alphabet a. Country distribution for newly created SITs was as follows: SIT4059a, n = 2 this study; SIT4060a, n = 1 this study, n = 1 PRT; SIT4061a n = 2 this study; SIT4062a n = 1 this study, n = 1 ZMB
  2. bLineage designations according to SITVIT2; “unknown” designates patterns with signatures that do not belong to any of the major lineages described in the database
  3. cClustered strains correspond to a similar spoligotype pattern shared by 2 or more strains “within this study”; as opposed to unique strains harboring a spoligotype pattern that does not match with another strain from this study. Unique strains matching a preexisting pattern in the SITVIT2 database are classified as SITs, whereas in case of no match, they are designated as “orphan”
