Reduced transmission of Mycobacterium africanum compared to Mycobacterium tuberculosis in urban West Africa

4 Jun 2018

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Understanding transmission dynamics is useful for tuberculosis (TB) control. A population-based molecular epidemiological study was conducted to determine TB transmission in Ghana. METHODS: Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) isolates obtained from prospectively sampled pulmonary TB patients between July 2012 and December 2015 were characterized using spoligotyping and standard 15-locus...
