Direct transmission of within-host Mycobacterium tuberculosis diversity to secondary cases can lead to variable between-host heterogeneity without de novo mutation: A genomic investigation

BACKGROUND: Whole genome sequencing (WGS) has enabled the development of new approaches to track Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) transmission between tuberculosis (TB) cases but its utility may be challenged by the discovery that Mtb diversifies within hosts. Nevertheless, there is limited data on...
