Analysis of Drug-Resistance Characteristics and Genetic Diversity of Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis Based on Whole-Genome Sequencing on the Hainan Island, China
1 Sept 2023
Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Given the high burden of Tuberculosis (TB) in China, the prevalence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is significant. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) enables the identification of lineages, drug-resistant mutations, and transmission patterns, offering valuable insights for TB control, clinical diagnosis, and treatment. Methods: We collected 202 MDR-MTB strains...
