*MDR TB, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis; ID, identification, MIRU-VNTR, mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit–variable number tandem repeat; ST, shared type; ND, not determined because ST and lineage could not be assigned on the basis of spoligotype; NA, not available.
†Antimicrobial drugs tested were streptomycin (S), isoniazid (H), rifampin (R), ethambutol (E), capreomycin (C), ciprofloxacin (F), cycloserine (Y), ethionamide (T), kanamycin (K), pyrazinamide (Z), amikacin (A), levofloxacin (L), and p-amino salicylic acid (P). Susceptibility patterns: S, susceptible; R, resistant; X, no result.
‡These 10 households were ultimately categorized as probable settings of multiple MDR TB introductions for subsequent analysis.
