Tracking cross-border transmission of Rwanda’s successful dominant rifampicin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis clone using genomic markers

2026-03-31

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> In Rwanda, genomic surveillance identified a dominant multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) strain, the R3clone, responsible for approximately 70% of rifampicin-resistant TB cases. Its presence beyond Rwanda remains unexplored. <h4>Methods</h4> Unique genetic signatures of the R3clone were defined using whole-genome sequencing of MDR-TB isolates from Rwanda. We developed a targeted qPCR a...
