12 Jun 2024
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background Direct whole genome sequencing (WGS) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) can be used as a tool to study drug resistance, mixed infections, and within-host diversity. However, WGS is challenging to obtain from clinical samples due to low number of bacilli against a high background. Methods We prospectively collected 34 samples (sputum, n = 17; bronchoalveolar lavage, n = 13; and pus, n = 4)...
