Integrating Molecular Diagnostics and GIS Mapping: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Understanding Tuberculosis Disease Dynamics in South Africa Using Xpert MTB/RIF

Lesley Erica Scott,
Anne Nicole Shapiro,
Manuel Pedro Da Silva
et al.

Abstract: An investigation was carried out to examine the use of national Xpert MTB/RIF data (2013–2017) and GIS technology for MTB/RIF surveillance in South Africa. The aim was to exhibit the potential of using molecular diagnostics for TB surveillance across the country. The variables analysed include Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) positivity, the mycobacterial proportion of rifampicin-resistant Mtb (RIF), and probe frequency. The summary statistics of these variables were generated and aggregated at the facility an… Show more
