Detection of <i>M. tuberculosis</i> in the environment as a tool for identifying high-risk locations for tuberculosis transmission

2022-04-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Tuberculosis (TB) remains a leading cause of infectious mortality globally, yet most cases cannot be epidemiologically linked even with extensive contact investigations and whole genome sequencing. Consequently, there remain major gaps in our understanding of where and when M. tuberculosis ( Mtb ) exposures occur. We aimed to investigate whether Mtb can be detected in environments where TB patien...
