Estimating tuberculosis drug resistance amplification rates in high-burden settings

Estimating tuberculosis drug resistance amplification rates in high-burden settings

Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance develops following the accrual of mutations in the bacterial genome, and may variably impact organism fitness and hence, transmission risk. Classical representation of tuberculosis (TB) dynamics using a single or two strain (DS/MDR-TB) model typically doe...
