A case series of pyrazinamide mono-resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis using whole genome sequencing for diagnosis and cluster linkage.

Conclusion: We have described a series of patients with PZAMR-MTB, of which most are young adults, with a high rate of substance misuse, and no prior TB therapy. Additionally we demonstrate the utility of WGS in providing rapid sensitivity and cluster data and case linkage useful in clinical practice.
