A quantitative evaluation of MIRU-VNTR typing against whole-genome sequencing for identifying <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> transmission: A prospective observational cohort study

2018-01-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4> <h4>Summary: </h4> </h4> <h4>Background</h4> Mycobacterial Interspersed Repetitive Unit-Variable Number Tandem Repeat (MIRU-VNTR) typing is widely used in high-income countries for Mycobacterium tuberculosis typing. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is known to deliver greater specificity, but no quantitative prospective comparison has yet been undertaken. <h4>Methods</h4> We studied isolates from the Engli...
