dc.description.abstractThe role of previous treatment in the dynamics of tuberculosis transmission has not been adequately investigated. Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from previously treated patients [‎n = 88]‎ from all regions of Syrian Arab Republic were characterized in terms of antibiotic sensitivity and genotyping using double-repetitive-element polymerase chain reaction [‎DRE-PCR]‎ method for the proximity of the repetitive DNA elements IS6110 [‎a mobile genetic element]‎ and PGRS. The 88 isolates resulted in 59 different DRE-PCR patterns. Correlations related to age, sex, region, sensitivity and genotype were examined. All regions of the country showed high levels of genotype diversity, suggesting a low level of transmission of M. tuberculosis strains in previously treated patientsEN
