Methods: Spoligotyping and 24-loci MIRU-VNTR was performed on 127 consecutive extrapulmonary Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) isolates. Results: Based on the analysis of 127 M. tuberculosis isolates, all 3 formats of MIRU-VNTR when coupled with spoligotyping (HGDI: spoligotyping +12-loci, 0.9 967
