FIG. 1.
Spoligotype patterns obtained from 79 isolates of M. bovis subsp. caprae. Spacer numbers are given in the first line. The designation of the spoligotype is given in the left-hand column. Open or solid squares indicate the absence or presence of a specific spacer sequence, respectively.

FIG. 2.
Dendrogram showing relative IS6110 band sizes of all isolates belonging to spoligotype C1. Chemiluminescent hybridization images were normalized using Phoretix 1D software, and cluster analysis was done with the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean algorithm. The RFLP type is given at the right-hand margin. The most abundant type (rc1) is highlighted.
