Reduced transmission of <i>Mycobacterium africanum</i> compared to <i>M. tuberculosis</i> in urban West Africa

2017-10-21

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Understanding transmission dynamics is useful for tuberculosis (TB) control. We conducted a population-based molecular epidemiological study to understand TB transmission in Ghana. <h4>Methods</h4> Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) isolates obtained from prospectively-sampled pulmonary TB patients between July, 2012 and December, 2015 were confirmed as MTBC using IS 6110 PCR. MTBC li...
