Abstract excerpt

Toronto has been the site of a recent extended tuberculosis (TB) outbreak in the homeless or under-housed population. Genotyping has identified a unique strain that continues to circulate within this population, with spread to individuals with no links to the shelter system, and anecdotally appears to progress rapidly from infection to active disease in some cases. The recent appearance and transmission of...
