Abstract
We present the lineages of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) found using spoligotyping in the Sub-Himalayan Region of Kangra District in Himachal Pradesh. The DNA from clinical isolates was used for spoligotyping using a PCR based method to simultaneously detect and type Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, performed by an outsource agency namely Mapmygenome, Hyderabad. Spoligotyping and database comparison was done. We found the following families: Indo Oceanic (51.2%) Central Asian (37.8%), West African (4.8%), East Asian (3.6%), Euro American and M.africanum (1.2%) each. There were genetically diverse strains of MTB causing pulmonary tuberculosis in Kangra region, indicating cosmopolitan nature of its population.
