| Resumo |
Laboratory cross-contamination by Mycobacterium tuberculosis is known to be responsible for the misdiagnosis of tuberculosis, but its impact on other contexts has not been analyzed. We present the findings of a molecular epidemiology analysis in which the recent transmission events identified by a genotyping reference center were overestimated as a result of unnoticed laboratory cross-contamination in the original diagnostic laboratories. The study has been partially financed by Fondo de Investigaciones Sanitarias (PI030654, PI030986), Junta de Andalucía (248-03) and Fundación Progreso y Salud (14033). |
