Estimation of country-specific tuberculosis resistance antibiograms using pathogen genomics and machine learning
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first attempt at global Mtb antibiogram estimation. DR prevalence in Mtb can be reliably estimated using public WGS and phenotypic resistance prediction for key antibiotics, but public WGS data demonstrates oversampling of isolates with higher resistance levels than MDR. Nevertheless, our results raise concerns about the empiric use of short-course fluoroquinolone regimens for drug-susceptible TB in South Asia and indicate underutilisation of ethionamide in MDR treatment.PMID:38548342 | DOI:10.1136/bmjgh-2023-013532 (Source: Cancer Control)
