Investigating spillover of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis from a prison: a spatial and molecular epidemiological analysis

17 Jul 2018

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Congregate settings may serve as institutional amplifiers of tuberculosis (TB) and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). We analyze spatial, epidemiological, and pathogen genetic data prospectively collected from neighborhoods surrounding a prison in Lima, Peru, where inmates experience a high risk of MDR-TB, to investigate the risk of spillover into the surrounding community. METHODS: Using...
