FFMTBSEQ

Whole genome sequencing of M. tuberculosis complex isolates in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

In close collaboration with the muncipial health authorities, the Institute of Medical Microbiology and Infection Control at University Hospital Frankfurt, and the Research Center Borstel, our study group analyses epidemiological and sequencing data that has been generated as part of the PHIMS-TB study under the realms of the RKI.

Predictive factors for clinical phenotype, as well as transmission clustering are investigated. This includes the mycobacterial lineage, but also host-determined factors, such as geographpical origin.
