Exploring transmission dynamics in epidemiologically linked pulmonary tuberculosis cases and household contacts: a WGS-based investigation
People living in regions with a significant prevalence of tuberculosis face the danger of acquiring the disease from external sources. Genomic sequencing provides valuable information about the epidemiological trends of tuberculosis, which helps in developing improved strategies for high-risk groups susceptible to unnoticed TB transmission.
