Abstract excerpt
Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) provides high-resolution insight into the genetic diversity, transmission dynamics, and drug-resistance mechanisms of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), yet genomic data from Morocco remain limited. In this study, we analyzed 68 WGS datasets of Moroccan MTB isolates and contextualized them using 19 global reference genomes. Lineages and resistance-associated mutations were determined...
