The Role of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) in the Management of Tuberculosis: Practical Review for Implementation in Routine

Abstract excerpt

(MTB), which is the causative agent of TB. NGS has provided insights into the genetic diversity of MTB, which are crucial for understanding the evolution and transmission of the disease, and it has facilitated the identification of drug-resistant strains, enabling rapid and accurate tailoring of treatment. However, the high cost and the technical complexities of NGS currently limit its widespread use in clinical...
