Abstract excerpt

In this case report, we present case reports for two nurses, both working in departments of respiratory medicine, who developed tuberculosis (TB). For each individual case, whole genome sequencing (WGS) revealed only one specific match within a genomic distance of <6 single-nucleotide polymorphisms. The subsequent epidemiological investigations confirmed that both nurses had relevant exposures to their...
