We have evaluated fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (FAFLP) fingerprinting as a complementary technique for genotyping Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which may aid in the elucidation of the transmission dynamics of tuberculosis. Earlier FAFLP studies (1, 2, 3, 5) broadly employed EcoRI and MseI restriction enzymes, which are known to have a low cleavage frequency for GC genomes of >65 mol% (4). By contrast, BamHI and MspI restriction endonucleases were used in this study because they have a higher cleavage frequency (as judged by in silico calculations) for the M. tuberculosis genome and do not show polymorphisms within IS6110/IS986
