| Abstract | We performed spoligotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from 833 systematically sampled pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients in urban Mumbai, India (723 patients), and adjacent rural areas in western India (110 patients). The urban cohort consisted of two groups of patients, new cases (646 patients) and first-time treatment failures (77 patients), while only new cases were recruited in the rural areas. The isolates from urban new cases showed 71% clustering, with 168 Manu1, 62 CAS, 22 Beijing, and 30 EAI-5 isolates. The isolates from first-time treatment failures were 69% clustered, with 14 Manu1, 8 CAS, 8 Beijing, and 6 EAI-5 isolates. The proportion of Beijing strains was higher in this group than in urban new cases (odds ratio [OR], 3.29; 95% confidence limit [95% CL], 1.29 to 8.14; P = 0.003). The isolates from rural new cases showed 69% clustering, with 38 Manu1, 7 CAS, and 1 EAI-5 isolate. Beijing was absent in the rural cohort. Manu1 was found to be more common in the rural cohort (OR, 0.67; 95% CL, 0.42 to 1.05; P = 0.06). In total, 71% of isolates were clustered into 58 spoligotypes with 4 predominant strains, Manu1 (26%), CAS (9%), EAI-5 (4%), and Beijing (4%), along with 246 unique spoligotypes. In the isolates from urban new cases, we found Beijing to be associated with multidrug resistance (MDR) (OR, 3.40; 95% CL, 1.20 to 9.62; P = 0.02). CAS was found to be associated with pansensitivity (OR, 1.83; 95% CL, 1.03 to 3.24; P = 0.03) and cavities as seen on chest radiographs (OR, 2.72; 95% CL, 1.34 to 5.53; P = 0.006). We recorded 239 new spoligotypes yet unreported in the global databases, suggesting that the local TB strains exhibit a high degree of diversity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
