A new method for detecting mixed Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and reconstructing constituent strains provides insights into transmission
27 Jan 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mixed infection with multiple strains of the same pathogen in a single host can present clinical and analytical challenges. Whole genome sequence (WGS) data can identify signals of multiple strains in samples, though the precision of previous methods can be improved. Here, we present MixInfect2, a new tool to accurately detect mixed samples from Mycobacterium tuberculosis short-read WGS data. We then...
