Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine the efficacy of whole genome sequencing (WGS) in accurately predicting susceptibility profiles, potentially eliminating the need for conventional phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (pDST) for first-line antituberculosis drugs in routine tuberculosis diagnosis. METHODS: Over the period of 2017 to 2020, 1114 Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates were collected with...
