Multiple Introductions of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Lineage 2–Beijing Into Africa Over Centuries

2019-04-16

Abstract excerpt

The Lineage 2–Beijing (L2–Beijing) sub-lineage of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has received much attention due to its high virulence, fast disease progression, and association with antibiotic resistance. Despite several reports of the recent emergence of L2–Beijing in Africa, no study has investigated the evolutionary history of this sub-lineage on the continent. In this study, we used whole genome sequences of 781...
