Targeting high TB transmission sites may offer a novel approach to TB prevention in sub-Saharan Africa. We sought to characterize TB transmission sites in a rural Ugandan township. We recruited adults starting TB treatment in Tororo, Uganda over one year. 54 TB cases provided names of frequent contacts, sites of residence, health care, work and social activities, and two sputum samples. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) culture-positive specimens underwent spoligotyping to identify strains with shared genotypes. We visualized TB case social networks, and obtained, mapped and geo-coded global positioning system measures for every location that cases reported frequenting one month before treatment. Locations of spatial overlap among genotype-clustered cases were considered potential transmission sites. Six distinct genotypic clusters were identified involving 21/33(64%) MTB culture-positive, genotyped cases; none shared a home. Although 18/54(33%) TB cases shared social network ties, none of the genotype-clustered cases shared social ties. Using spatial analysis, we identified potential sites of within-cluster TB transmission for five of six genotypic clusters. All sites but one were health care and social venues, including sites of drinking, worship and marketplaces. Cases reported spending the largest proportion of pre-treatment person-time (22.4%) at drinking venues. Using molecular epidemiology, geospatial and social network data from adult TB cases identified at clinics, we quantified person-time spent at high-risk locations across a rural Ugandan community, and determined the most likely sites of recent TB transmission to be health care and social venues. These sites may not have been identified using contact investigation alone.
