Genetic variability in the different MTBC lineages.
(A and B) MIRU allelic richness in each population within clade 1 and 2 respectively. Rarefaction included eight isolates per population (smaller populations were not considered in this analysis. (C) Clades mean allelic richness. Notice that the difference between clade 1 and 2 is not significant (t-test, P = 0.08).
