Abstract excerpt
Bacterial strain-types in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex underlie tuberculosis disease, and have been associated with drug resistance, transmissibility, virulence, and host-pathogen interactions. Spoligotyping was developed as a molecular genotyping technique used to determine strain-types, though recent advances in whole genome sequencing (WGS) technology have led to their characterization using...
