Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is difficult to treat and has a high transmission risk and a poor prognosis, imposing a severe burden on patients and their families. The aim of this study is to explore the molecular biological characteristics of MDR Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in Urumqi through the analysis of gene mutations and the clustering patterns of MDR MTB strains. METHODS: This...
