Main Title:
Spatiotemporal Clustering of Multidrug-Resistant and Extensively Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis Is Associated With Human Immunodeficiency Virus Status and Drug-Susceptibility Patterns in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Abstract: Using an open-access spatiotemporal analytics program, we mapped spatiotemporal heterogeneity loci in tuberculosis (TB) cases (clusters) and dynamic changes, and characterized the drug-resistant TB clustering risk using routine microbiological data from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The data may provide insight into transmission dynamics and support efficient deployment of public health resources.
