Main sub-clusters according to Multi Locus VNTR and spoligotyping within the «Cameroon» (CAM) clade.

Sub = Subgroup name, SIT = spoligo-International type, Nb = Number of strains in that group. MIT = MIRU-International Type.(MIT266 = 36%; MIT12 = 27%, MIT264 = 7%); Mtub 39, N = high copy number and variable, MIRU16, 40 and QuB11b : poorly variable, all other markers : no variation.Alias designation of MIRU-VNTR loci (with genomic positions) : VNTR0154 = MIRU2, VNTR0424 = Mtub4, VNTR0577 = ETRC, VNTR0580 = ETRD or MIRU4, VNTR0802 = MIRU40, VNTR0960 = MIRU10, VNTR1644 = MIRU16, VNTR1955 = Mtub21, VNTR2059 = MIRU20, VNTR2163 = QUB11B, VNTR2165 = ETRA, VNTR2347 = Mtub29, VNTR2401 = Mtub30, VNTR2461 = ETRB, VNTR2531 = MIRU23, VNTR2687 = MIRU24, VNTR2996 = MIRU26, VNTR3007 = MIRU27, VNTR3171 = Mtub34, VNTR3192 = ETRE or MIRU31, VNTR3690 = Mtub39, VNTR4052 = QUB26, VNTR4156 = QUB4156, VNTR4348 = MIRU39.
