Abstract excerpt

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) can help to relate Mycobacterium tuberculosis genomes to one another to assess genetic relatedness and infer the likelihood of transmission between cases. The same sequence data are now increasingly being used to predict drug resistance and susceptibility. Controlling the spread of tuberculosis and providing patients with the correct treatment are central to the World Health...
