Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB) represents a major global health challenge. Drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) poses a substantial obstacle to effective TB treatment. Identifying genomic mutations in MTB isolates holds promise for unraveling the underlying mechanisms of drug resistance in this bacterium. METHODS: In this study, we investigated the roles of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in MTB...
