Phylogenetic network representing the genomic relatedness of all patient isolates in study of limited nosocomial transmission of drug-resistant tuberculosis, Moldova. Network is based on a core genome multilocus sequence type analysis. Pink indicates patients who acquired MDR TB, green indicates MDR TB patients initially admitted to a non–MDR TB ward; blue boxes indicate identified likely nosocomial transmission events. MDR, multidrug-resistant; MTBC, Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex; TB, tuberculosis.
