How close is close enough? Exploring matching criteria in the estimation of recent transmission of tuberculosis.

American journal of epidemiology - 1 Aug 2010

Benedetti Andrea, Menzies Dick, Behr Marcel A, Schwartzman Kevin, Jin Yulan

Abstract excerpt

If Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from 2 people have the same genotype, transmission may have occurred between them. Genotyping based on the insertion sequence IS6110 uses identical restriction fragment length polymorphisms ("fingerprints") to infer transmission. However, once transmission h...
