Population structure and emergence of resistance to new and repurposed drugs in XDR-TB: insights from a 10-year genomic study in the Western Cape, South Africa review
4 Sept 2025
Abstract excerpt
Background: Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is a global health threat, being expensive and difficult to treat, with high mortality rates. The Western Cape Province (WCP), South Africa, has a particularly high burden of XDR-TB (>800 cases in the past ten years). Drug resistance genotypes and transmission present substantial regional variability. Thus, a better understanding of genetic diversity,...
