Elucidation of drug resistance mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from North India by whole-genome sequencing

Objectives: Rapid diagnosis of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) is required for better patient management and treatment outcomes. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) can be used to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and deletions/insertions that are responsible for mostMycobacterium tuberculosi...
