Abstract excerpt
Direct sputum whole genome sequencing (dsWGS) can revolutionize Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) diagnosis by enabling rapid detection clinically relevant resistance mutations and strain diversity without the biohazard of culture. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, identifying 8 studies meeting inclusion criteria for testing protocols for dsWGS. Utilising meta-regression, we identified...
