MDR-TB tranmission in Shenzhen, China
To further investigate the transmission of MDR-TB among migrants, we whole-genome sequenced (WGS) clinical MDR-TB strains collected during 2013-2017 in Shenzhen to detect clustered strains. This was then combined with epidemiological data and patient interviews to detect risk factors for transmission and possible geographic groupings or social links that could explain the transmission between genomic-clustered cases.
