Comparative Study on Tuberculosis Drug Resistance and Molecular Detection Methods Among Different Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Lineages

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health challenge, with drug resistance posing a substantial threat to its control. The diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis lineages adds complexity to understanding drug resistance patterns. This study aims to compare drug resistance profiles and molecular detection methods across different M. tuberculosis lineages.
