Targeted and whole-genome sequencing for drug resistance and genetic relatedness inference of rifampicin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis : an in-depth comparison
11 Sept 2025
Abstract excerpt
Background Challenges in tuberculosis (TB) control have fuelled interest in routine next generation sequencing (NGS). However, the comparative performance of targeted NGS (tNGS) and whole genome sequencing (WGS) for drug resistance and genetic relatedness inference remains unclear. Methods In this cross-sectional study, we compared WGS (MICK-MAGMA platform) and the Deeplex MycTB tNGS assay in 90 patients with...
