Whole-genome sequencing for rapid, reliable and routine investigation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission in local communities

29 Jun 2019

Abstract excerpt

Contact investigations following the diagnosis of active tuberculosis (TB) are paramount for the control of the disease. Epidemiological data are very powerful for contact tracing but might be delayed and/or difficult to integrate, especially in the setting of multiple contact-tracing investigations. The aim of this study was to address the added-value of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to routine local TB...
