Fine-grain population structure and transmission patterns of in southern Mozambique, a high TB/HIV burden area.

Genomic studies of the (MTBC) might shed light on the dynamics of its transmission, especially in high-burden settings, where recent outbreaks are embedded in the complex natural history of the disease. To this end, we conducted a 1 year prospective surveillance-based study in Mozambique. We applied whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to 295 positive cultures.
