Brief Summary

Two commonly used treatments for latent tuberculosis infection are either 4 months rifampicin or 6-9 months isoniazid. The invistigators will study the risk of acquisition of rifampicin resistance in commensal Staphylococcus aureus in persons treated with rifampicin versus in persons treated with isoniazide. Through repeated swab cultures before, during, and after treatment the investigators will also investigate potential accumulation of mutations associated with rifampicin resistance over time. Finally, household contacts to persons with rifampicin-resistant S. aureus will be examined to investigate whether onward transmission of rifampicin-resistant S. aureus occurs within households.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * diagnosed with latent tuberculosis * prescribed either 4 months rifampicin or 6-9 months isoniazide * informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * none
