Figure 4. Potential spatial relationships (residence within 1 km of another patient) between mixed infection and other genotype-clustered cases, Ghanzi, Botswana, 2012–2016. Shown are locations of patients with mixed Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and other genotype-clustered cases. Each color represents each genotype cluster. The 1-km radius blue-shaded area from each mixed infection patient shows the neighborhood boundary. Two patients with mixed infection were genotype-clustered and had a potential spatial relationship. (Their mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit–variable-number tandem-repeat results were not exactly matched.)
