Whole genomic sequencing of pre-XDR Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates in iraq reveals resistance-associated mutations and distinct phylogenetic lineages
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) and preextensively drug-resistant (pre-XDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis pose major problems to tuberculosis control worldwide. In this study, we combined the phenotypic drug resistance patterns and the whole genome sequencing (WGS) to characterize the resistance profile of M. tubercu...
