| Summary | Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain CDC1551, also nicknamed "Oshkosh", is a clinical isolate from a clothing factory worker from the Kentucky/Tennessee, USA, region. It is highly contagious, and infected approximately 80% of the patient's social contacts. However, this strain has not caused epidemics in man and is sensitive to a wide range of drugs. It is also highly virulent in a mouse lung model, producing several orders of magnitude more bacteria than the H37Rv strain when inoculated.
