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

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