Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Environmental and host-related factors that contribute to the transmission of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) have become an increasing concern, but the impact of bacterial genetic factors associated with bacterial fitness on MDR-TB transmission is poorly understood. Here, we present a global view of the correlation between common fitness-related genotypes and MDR-TB transmission by...
