One gene is listed when SNP location is situated in that gene and two genes are listed when SNP is intergenic. bPCR name, amplicon expected size, and primers used. Results We analysed the MTC strain family distribution of 173 isolates collected in 2010 from across Aragon (Table 1). Within this set and according with the spoligotyping analysis, the Haarlem genotype was the most frequent genotype (23.6%), followed by the T “ill defined” family (19.6%), U (15%) and LAM (13.8%). Other genotypes showing a defined SIT (9.8%) grouped in smaller groups. Those isolates showing a pattern with no SIT assigned Silibinin in the spolDB4 database corresponded to 17.9%. Among the 173 isolates, 91 isolates were included in the T, U and no SIT groups representing the 52.6% of the isolates. Accepting those with the same RFLP-IS6110 genotype as clone-related isolates and therefore belonging to the same family or lineage, only one isolate of each RFLP-IS6110 genotype, 101 isolates, were analysed by pyrosequencing (Figure 1). Once tested for the presence of the nine SNPs, we could confirm that those

isolates with the same spoligopattern held into the same SCG. For further analysis one isolate for each spoligopattern was selected resulting a sample of 75 different MTC strains. Seven of the 75 strains according with their SNPs in gyrA and katG genes were found to belong to PGG-1, 52 were included in PGG-2 and 16 were grouped in PGG-3. The strains in PGG-1 shared the SNPs for SCG-7, SCG-1, SCG-2 and SCG-3a. The SCG-3b, SCG-3c and SCG-5 met the feature for PGG-2. Finally, PGG-3 embraced the isolates in SCG-6a and a new SCG that from now on it will be mentioned as “SCG-6c”. The described SCG-6b pattern was only observed for the isolate of H37Rv used as a control. The distribution of these results is drawn and shown in Figure 2 and Table 4.
