Background  A large and unsuspected tuberculosis outbreak involving 18.7% of the total of the tuberculosis cases studied, was detected in a population-based molecular epidemiological study performed in Zaragoza (Spain) from 2001 to 2004.    Methods  The  Mycobacterium tuberculosis  drug-susceptible strain, named  MTZ  strain, was genetically characterized by IS 6110 -RFLP, Spoligotyping and by MIRU-VNTR typing and the genetic patterns obtained were compared with those included in international databases. The characteristics of the affected patients, in an attempt to understand why the  MTZ  strain was so highly transmitted among the population were also analyzed.    Results  The genetic profile of the  MTZ  strain was rare and not widely distributed in our area or elsewhere. The patients affected did not show any notable risk factor for TB.    Conclusion  The  M. tuberculosis  strain  MTZ , might have particular transmissibility or virulence properties, and we believe that greater focus should be placed on stopping its widespread dissemination.
