Abstract excerpt
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), remains a pressing global health challenge, with a high burden in West Africa, including The Gambia. Understanding the genetic diversity of circulating MTBC strains is essential for improving diagnosis, surveillance and treatment strategies. In this study, we characterise the population structure and drug resistance landscape of MTBC...
