Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Residents in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) are vulnerable to tuberculosis (TB) transmission; however, to delineate possible routes of TB transmission in LTCFs is difficult. This study aimed to address the use of regular genotyping surveillance to delineate TB transmission in LTCFs. METHODS: All of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates in the reported 620-bed LTCF between July 2011 and August 2015...
