Considering best practice standards for routine whole-genome sequencing for TB care and control Open
TB is a priority pathogen for the application of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) into routine public health practice. In low-incidence settings, a growing number of services have begun to incorporate routine WGS into standard practice. The i…

Severe Mpox Among People With Advanced Human Immunodeficiency Virus Receiving Prolonged Tecovirimat in New York City Open
Severe mpox has been observed in people with advanced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We describe clinical outcomes of 13 patients with advanced HIV (CD4 <200 cells/μL), severe mpox, and multiorgan involvement. Despite extended teco…

Developing best practice public health standards for whole genome sequencing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Open
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a priority pathogen for global control. A growing number of countries have begun to incorporate routine whole genome sequencing (WGS) to support key aspects of tuberculosis (TB) public health and clinical prac…

Pfizer-BioNTech Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccine Effectiveness Against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Infection Among Long-term Care Facility Staff With and Without Prior Infection in New York City, January–June 2021 Open
Background Evidence is accumulating of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine effectiveness among persons with prior severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Methods We evaluated the effect against incid…

Host-pathogen sympatry and differential transmissibility of<i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex</i> Open
SUMMARY The obligate human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex ( Mtbc ) separates genetically into nine lineages several of which demonstrate sympatry with their human host i.e. have distinct and restricted patterns of geographical…

Logically Inferred Tuberculosis Transmission (LITT): A Data Integration Algorithm to Rank Potential Source Cases Open
Understanding tuberculosis (TB) transmission chains can help public health staff target their resources to prevent further transmission, but currently there are few tools to automate this process. We have developed the Logically Inferred T…

Use of Modeling to Inform Tuberculosis Elimination Strategies Open
airways with higher BMI, and the amount of airway fat correlates with wall thickness and the number of inflammatory cells (13).Airway adipose tissue accumulation by itself may therefore partly explain some of the changes seen in asthma, in…

758. Tuberculosis Recurrence in New York City: A Retrospective Study Open
Background Tuberculosis (TB) recurrence has been difficult to determine due to diverse definitions. Without knowledge of recurrence rates or associated risk factors, patients with highest likelihood of recurrence may not be identified, con…

Towards better prediction of Mycobacterium tuberculosis lineages from MIRU-VNTR data Open
The determination of lineages from strain-based molecular genotyping information is an important problem in tuberculosis. Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat (MIRU-VNTR) typing is a commonly used molecu…

Exploring genotype concordance in epidemiologically linked cases of tuberculosis in New York City Open
SUMMARY Comparing genotype results of tuberculosis (TB) isolates from individuals diagnosed with TB can support or refute transmission; however, these conclusions are based upon the criteria used to define a genotype match. We used a genot…
