Genomic prediction of tuberculosis drug-resistance: benchmarking existing databases and prediction algorithms
BACKGROUND: It is possible to predict whether a tuberculosis (TB) patient will fail to respond to specific antibiotics by sequencing the genome of the infecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and observing whether the pathogen carries specific mutations at drug-resistance sites. This advancement h...
