Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated drug resistance profiles of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) isolates in West Java, Indonesia through phenotypic and genomic approaches. METHODS: We performed phenotypic drug-susceptibility testing (DST), coupled with whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of 142 Mtb isolates identified as RIF-R (Rifampicin resistant) using the Xpert MTB/RIF platform. RESULTS: We found 107/142 (75%)...
