Use of whole genome sequencing to predict Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug resistance in Indonesia

ConclusionsOur data support the potential use of WGS for more rapid and comprehensive prediction ofDR-TB in Indonesia. Future studies should address potential barriers in implementing WGS, the distribution of specific resistance mutations, and associations of particular mutations with endemic M. tuberculosis lineages in Indonesia.
