MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2020 69 (32) 1104-1105 During 2018–2019, the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) reported three cases of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB)* in persons who worked in two food processing facilities. The National Tuberculosis Molecular Surveillance Center† performed whole genome sequencing of a Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolate from each patient; phylogenetic analysis revealed the isolates were genetically identical. Prompted by concern for MDR TB transmission associated with these workplaces and surrounding communities, ODH began an investigation in February 2019. CDC was invited to assist with the investigation and deployed a team to Ohio on April 14, 2019. |
