Discrepancy in the transmissibility of multidrug-resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis in urban and rural areas in China

Discrepancy in the transmissibility of multidrug-resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis in urban and rural areas in China

The fitness of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is thought to be an important determinant of a strain’s ability to be transmitted. Studies in the laboratory have demonstrated that MDR-TB strains have reduced fitness but the relative transmissibility of MDR-TB versus drug-susceptible (DS) TB...
