Reimagining Tuberculosis Control in the Era of Genomics: The Case for Global Investment in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Genomic Surveillance

Abstract excerpt

remains a significant global public health threat. While whole-genome sequencing (WGS) holds immense promise for understanding transmission dynamics and drug resistance mechanisms, its integration into routine surveillance remains limited. Additionally, insights from WGS are increasingly contributing to vaccine discovery by identifying novel antigenic targets and understanding pathogen evolution. The COVID-19...
