A landscape of genomic alterations at the root of a near-untreatable tuberculosis epidemic

A landscape of genomic alterations at the root of a near-untreatable tuberculosis epidemic

Abstract Background Atypical Beijing genotype Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains are widespread in South Africa and have acquired resistance to up to 13 drugs on multiple occasions. It is puzzling that these strains have retained fitness and transmissibility despite the potential fitness cost associ...
