Whole-Genome Sequencing for Resistance Prediction and Transmission Analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Strains from Namibia

Whole-Genome Sequencing for Resistance Prediction and Transmission Analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Strains from Namibia

ABSTRACT Namibia is among 30 countries with a high burden of tuberculosis (TB), with an estimated incidence of 460 per 100,000 population and around 800 new multidrug-resistant (MDR) TB cases per year. Still, data on the transmission and evolution of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex...
