Use of whole genome sequencing in understanding transmission dynamics of tuberculosis

2018-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the leading cause of death from an infectious disease worldwide. An understanding of tuberculosis transmission dynamics in outbreak settings is vital for its control. The advent of affordable whole genome sequencing (WGS) has provided scope for superior resolution of tuberculosis outbreaks, compared to previous methods. However, the challenge lies in standardising the vast quantities...
