Importance of ventilation and occupancy to Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission rates in congregate settings
BACKGROUND: Ventilation rates are a key determinant of the transmission rate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other airborne infections. Targeting infection prevention and control (IPC) interventions at locations where ventilation rates are low and occupancy high could be a highly effective interve...
