Abstract excerpt

This paper describes the application of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to investigate an outbreak of Mycobacterium tuberculosis occurring in Aragon, Spain, where strains have been submitted to genotyping since 2004. The responsible outbreak strain appeared in our region first in 2014 and it spread to 14 patients in the following three years. WGS found low variability between the isolates with none of the SNPs...
