Genomic-based surveillance reveals high ongoing transmission of multi-drug-resi...
Salvato, Richard Steiner; Reis, Ana Júlia; Schiefelbein, Sun Hee; Gómez, Michael Andrés Abril; Salvato, Stéphanie Steiner; Silva, Larissa Vitória daGenomic-based surveillance on the occurrence of drug resistance and its transmission dynamics has emerged as a powerful tool for the control of tuberculosis (TB). A whole-genome sequencing approach, phenotypic testing and clinical-epidemiological investigation were used to undertake a retrospective population-based study on drug-resistant (DR)-TB in Rio Grande do Sul, the largest state in Southern Brazil. The a...
