Same-day diagnostic and surveillance data for tuberculosis via whole genome sequencing of direct respiratory samples
Routine full characterization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) is culture-based, taking many weeks. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) can generate antibiotic susceptibility profiles to inform treatment, augmented with strain information for global surveillance; such data could be transformative if pro...
