A novel approach : the propensity to propagate (PTP) method for controlling for host factors in studying the transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

RATIONALE: Understanding the genetic variations among Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) strains with differential ability to transmit would be a major step forward in preventing transmission. OBJECTIVES: To describe a method to extend conventional proxy measures of transmissibility by adjusting for p...
