Abstract excerpt
In this study, we aimed to characterize drug-resistant strains by whole-genome sequencing (WGS), to describe the spreading lineages and the history of transmission. Drug susceptibility testing was performed by 96-well broth microdilution plates. The genomic DNA was extracted and purified; libraries were prepared and run on the Illumina NextSeq500 System. Among 82 isolates, 21 tuberculosis (TB) isolates (25.6%)...
