Abstract excerpt

Costa Rica has a low incidence of tuberculosis. Thus, identifying transmission hotspots is key to implement interventions. A tuberculosis outbreak was suspected in a prison in Costa Rica. Given the suboptimal quality of the samples received in our laboratory in Madrid, we applied alternative schemes for their analysis. In the first scheme, we bypassed the standard approach of applying systematic mycobacterial...
