Annual Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection Risk and Interpretation of Clustering Statistics

Annual Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection Risk and Interpretation of Clustering Statistics

Several recent studies have used proportions of tuberculosis cases sharing identical DNA fingerprint patterns (i.e., isolate clustering) to estimate the extent of disease attributable to recent transmission. Using a model of introduction and transmission of strains with different DNA fingerprint pat...
