Abstract excerpt
Drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) has long been a serious health issue worldwide. Most drug-resistant MTB isolates were identified due to treatment failure or in clinical examinations 3~6 months postinfection. In this study, we propose a whole-genome sequencing (WGS) pipeline via the Nanopore MinION platform to facilitate the efficacy of phenotypic identification of clinical isolates. We used...
