M. tuberculosis Beijing 14717-15-cluster was recently discovered as both multidrug-resistant, hypervirulent, and highly-lethal strain circulating in the Far Eastern region of Russia. Here, we aimed to analyze its pathogenomic features and phylogeographic p...

Mokrousov, Igor; Vyazovaya, Anna; Sinkov, Viacheslav; Gerasimova, Alena; Ioannidis, Panayotis; Jiao, Weiwei; Khromova, Polina; Papaventsis, DimitriosAncient sublineage of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing genotype is endemic and prevalent in East Asia and rare in other world regions. While these strains are mainly drug susceptible, we recently identified a novel clonal group Beijing 1071-32 within this sublineage emerging in Siberia, Russia and present in other Russian regions. This cluster included only multi/extensive drug resistant (MDR/XDR) isolate...
