Impact of genotypic and phenotypic resistance to second-line anti-tuberculosis drugs on treatment outcomes in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in China

Background: Despite the strong association between drug resistance and genetic mutations, the value of molecular diagnosis of drug resistance to guide the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) remains unclear. This is particularly relevant in resource-limited areas, in which it is d...
