Verification of emerging genomic mutations in <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> allows transmission chains to be distinguished in an epidemiological typing cluster extending over thirty years
2025-02-07
Abstract excerpt
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is able to identify epidemiological links between Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates. Recent clustering can be ruled out using a pre-defined single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) threshold. If WGS clusters grow significantly over time limited genetic variability hampers epidemiological investigations. Newly emerging (informative) SNPs in isolates of an extended cluster growing for m...
