Whole genome sequencing for M/XDR tuberculosis surveillance and for resistance testing
- Abstract:
-
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) can help to relate Mycobacterium tuberculosis genomes to one another to assess genetic relatedness and infer the likelihood of transmission between cases. The same sequence data are now increasingly being used to predict drug resistance and susceptibility. Controlling the spread of tuberculosis and providing patients with the correct treatment are central to the World Health Organization's target to 'End TB' by 2035, for which the global prevalence of drug-resist...
