Molecular Epidemiology of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis in Shantou, China: Associations between Drug Resistance and Genotypic Variation

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is a major global health threat, particularly in resource-limited regions. Understanding lineage-specific mutations is critical for improving diagnostics and guiding precision treatment. Methods Drug susceptibility testing was performed using <italic>Löwenstein-Jensen</italic> medium. Resistance-associated gene fragments were amplified via...
