Whole genome sequencing and single nucleotide polymorphisms in multi-drug resistant clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from the Philippines

ConclusionsThis study represents the first effort to investigate whole genomes of Philippine clinical strains of MTB exhibiting various profiles of multi-drug resistance. Whole genome data can provide valuable insights to the mechanistic and epidemiological qualities of tuberculosis in a high burden setting such as the Philippines.
