Genotyping of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis using methods such as Mycobacterial Interspersed Repetitive Unit-Variable Number of Tandem Repeats (MIRU-VNTR) has greatly enhanced traditional contact tracing efforts and is a valuable tool. However, the emerging field of genomic epidemiology, which relies on whole genome sequencing (WGS), is significantly more powerful in determining both the direction and timing of person-to-person spread of tuberculosis (TB). Yet many public health laboratories are challenged to fully implement TB genomic epidemiology programs.
