| General Description of the Research Project | This collaborative research aims to determine the role of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) for drug susceptibility testing (DST) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Myanmar and Indonesia, two high TB burden countries. It will investigate discrepancies between genotypic and phenotypic DST results and use WGS to investigate the population structure of resistant M. tuberculosis. |
