Resistance at No Cost: The Transmissibility and Potential for Disease Progression of Drug-Resistant <i>M. Tuberculosis</i>

2018-11-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The future trajectory of drug resistant tuberculosis strongly depends on the fitness costs of drug resistance mutations. Here, we measured the association of phenotypic drug resistance and the risk of TB infection and disease among household contacts (HHCs) of patients with pulmonary TB. <h4>Methods</h4> We evaluated 12767 HHCs of patients with drug sensitive and resistant pulmonary TB at bas...
