Comparison of in silico predicted Mycobacterium tuberculosis spoligotypes and lineages from whole genome sequencing data
Abstract Bacterial strain-types in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex underlie tuberculosis disease, and have been associated with drug resistance, transmissibility, virulence, and host–pathogen interactions. Spoligotyping was developed as a molecular genotyping technique used to determine strai...
