Journal ArticleDOI

A robust SNP barcode for typing Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex strains.

TL;DR: This SNP-based barcode is the first to cover all main lineages, and classifies a greater number of sublineages than current alternatives, and may be used to classify clinical isolates to evaluate tools to control the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hospital admission and emergency care attendance risk for SARS-CoV-2 delta (B.1.617.2) compared with alpha (B.1.1.7) variants of concern: a cohort study.

Katherine A Twohig, +607 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the severity of the delta variant compared with the alpha variant by determining the relative risk of hospital attendance outcomes and found that outbreaks of the Delta variant in unvaccinated populations might lead to a greater burden on health-care services than the alpha variants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide analysis of multi- and extensively drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis

TL;DR: A genome-wide association study of multi- and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis uses 6,465 Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates to identify novel mutations associated with resistance and suggest the involvement of efflux pumps in the emergence of resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale whole genome sequencing of M. tuberculosis provides insights into transmission in a high prevalence area.

TL;DR: Striking differences by lineage in the proportion of disease due to recent transmission and in transmissibility that were not confounded by immigration, HIV status or drug resistance are shown.
