The results of predicted transmission reconstruction model for identifying transmission links in real-world Mtb clusters in BC that are supported by case–contact data. Bolded values are the best performing models.
| Transmission reconstruction model | Number of high-likelihood transmission links (P ≥ 0.5) | Number of high-likelihood transmission links supported by case–contact data | Percentage of case–contact links identified (N = 120) | Percentage of high-likelihood transmission links supported by case–contact data |
