a 24-locus mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units, variable number of tandem repeats patterns of both extensively drug resistant tuberculosis patients. Three loci show double peaks for the second sample of patient 2, with the same alleles as patient 1’s MIRU pattern, suggestive of possible nosocomial superinfection of patient 2 from patient 1. In addition each copy number in patient 2’s second isolate matches either the original isolate (red = original patient 2, and green = both original patient 2 and patient 1), or is a double pattern with copy numbers matching both original patient 2 AND patient 1 copy numbers. b Spoligotyping results of the extensively drug resistant tuberculosis patients: [patient 2, sample 1 (Jan 16) is at the bottom and sample 2 (May 16) is in the middle] showing the superimposed pattern of patient 1 obscuring the missing spacers 13–26 in the first isolate. All isolates belong to the EuroAmerican lineage 4
