Evaluation of whole genome sequencing for Mycobacterial species identification and drug susceptibility testing in a clinical setting: a large-scale prospective assessment of performance against line-probe assays and phenotyping

Use of whole genome sequencing (WGS) for routine Mycobacterial species identification and drug susceptibility testing (DST) is becoming a reality. We compared performance of WGS and standard laboratory workflows prospectively, by parallel processing at a major Mycobacterial Reference Service over on...
