Abstract excerpt

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) in children is often an indicator of recent transmission. Genotyping and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) can enhance pediatric TB investigations by confirming or refuting transmission events. Methods: Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from all pediatric patients <18 years with culture-confirmed TB in British Columbia (BC) from 2005 to 2014 (n = 49) were genotyped by Mycobacterial...
