Abstract excerpt
Current knowledge on resistance-conferring determinants in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is biased toward globally dominant lineages 2 and 4. In contrast, lineages 1 and 3 are predominant in India. In this study, we performed whole-genome sequencing of 498 MDR M. tuberculosis isolates from India to determine the prevalence of drug resistance mutations and to understand the genomic diversity. A retrospective...
