Strategies for Treating, Observing, Managing and Preventing Tuberculosis (STOMP-TB)

This study (NIH R01 HL138728, PI David Dowdy) sought to create a comprehensive snapshot of tuberculosis prevalence and transmission within a single community in Kampala, Uganda. Sequencing was attempted on all people detected with culture-positive TB over the course of the study. The study population includes people diagnosed with TB through two waves of active, community-based case-finding in this community and from people diagnosed with TB through routine care in local health facilities.
