Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Efforts toward tuberculosis management and control are challenged by the emergence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) resistance to existing anti-TB drugs. This study aimed to explore the potential of machine learning algorithms in predicting drug resistance of four anti-TB drugs (rifampicin, isoniazid, streptomycin, and ethambutol) in MTB using whole-genome sequence and clinical data from Uganda. We...
