Abstract excerpt
To gain a deep insight into the additional drug-resistant profiles, genetic diversity, and transmission dynamics of rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) circulating in Hunan province, drug susceptibility testing and whole-genome-sequencing were performed among RR-TB strains collected from Jan. 2013 to Jun. 2018 in Hunan province. A total of 124 RR-TB strains were recovered successfully and included into the...
