Genetic sequencing for surveillance of drug resistance in tuberculosis in highly endemic countries: a multi-country population-based surveillance study
21 Mar 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In many countries, regular monitoring of the emergence of resistance to anti-tuberculosis drugs is hampered by the limitations of phenotypic testing for drug susceptibility. We therefore evaluated the use of genetic sequencing for surveillance of drug resistance in tuberculosis. METHODS: Population-level surveys were done in hospitals and clinics in seven countries (Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Belarus,...
