Abstract excerpt
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) has been proposed as a tool for the diagnosis of drug resistance in tuberculosis (TB); however, there have been few studies on its effectiveness in countries with significantly high drug resistance rates. This study therefore aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of WGS to identify mutations related to drug resistance in TB isolates from an endemic region of Mexico. The results showed...
