POPULATION-BASED SEQUENCING OF MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS REVEALS HOW CURRENT POPULATION DYNAMICS ARE SHAPED BY PAST EPIDEMICS

Population-based sequencing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis reveals how current population dynamics are shaped by past epidemics

Transmission is a driver of tuberculosis (TB) epidemics in high-burden regions, with assumed negligible impact in low-burden areas.However, we still lack a full characterization of transmission dynamics in settings with similar and different burdens.Genomic epidemiology can greatly help to quantify transmission, but the lack of whole genome sequenc
