The spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) has become a major global challenge. In 2016, Tasmania recorded its first known incidence of MDR-TB. Here, we report the draft whole-genome sequence of the isolate from this case, TASMDR1, and describe single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with its drug resistance.
耐多药结核病(MDR-TB)的传播已成为一项重大的全球挑战。2016年,塔斯马尼亚记录了其首例已知的耐多药结核病发病情况。在此,我们报告了该病例分离株TASMDR1的全基因组序列草图,并描述了与其耐药性相关的单核苷酸多态性。
