The Beijing genotype is the most common type of tuberculosis in Jiangxi Province, China. The association of population characteristics and their prevalence in the development of recent transmission is still unclear. 1,433 isolates were subjected to drug-resistant tests and MIRU-VNTR analysis. We compared differences in demographic characteristics and drug resistance patterns between the Beijing and non-Beijing family strains. We also explored the association of the clustering rate with the Beijing genotype of
