Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), continues to be a global health challenge. Transmission of drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) poses a significant threat to effective TB prevention and care strategies. This study's aim was to investigate transmission patterns of DR-TB strains, identify factors associated with the spread and reconstruct their transmission dynamics over the study...
