Genomic Analysis of <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> Strains Resistant to Second-Line Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs in Lusaka, Zambia
The emergence of pre-extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (pre-XDR-TB) is a threat to TB control programs in developing countries such as Zambia. Studies in Zambia have applied molecular techniques to understand drug-resistance-associated mutations, circulating lineages and transmission patterns...
