Using genotyping data of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from new cases reported to the TB surveillance program, we evaluated risk factors for recent TB transmission at both the individual- and neighborhood-levels among U.S.-born and foreign-born populations. TB cases (N=1,236) reported in Michigan during 2004–2012 were analyzed using multivariable Poisson regression models to examine risk factors for recent transmission cross-sectionally for U.S.-born and foreign-born populations separately. Recent transmission was defined based on spoligotype and 12-locus-MIRU-VNTR matches of bacteria from cases that were diagnosed within one year of each other. Four classes of predictor variables were examined: demographic factors, known TB risk factors, clinical characteristics, and neighborhood-level factors. Overall, 22% of the foreign-born cases resulted from recent transmission. Among the foreign-born, race and being a contact of an infectious TB case were significant predictors of recent transmission. More than half (52%) of U.S.-born cases resulted from recent transmission. Among the U.S.-born, recent transmission was predicted by both individual- and neighborhood-level socio-demographic characteristics. Interventions aimed at reducing TB incidence among foreign-born should focus on reducing reactivation of latent infection. However, reducing TB incidence among the U.S.-born will require decreasing transmission among socially disadvantaged groups at the individual- and neighborhood-level. This report fills an important knowledge gap regarding the contemporary social context of TB in the U.S., thereby providing a foundation for future studies of public health policies that can lead to the development of more targeted effective TB control.
