Abstract Rapid and accurate detection of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis is crucial for effective intervention. Next-generation sequencing technologies have been recommended to rapidly and accurately detect resistance to second-line anti-TB drugs. We deployed whole-genome sequencing to detect mutations associated with drug resistance in pre-extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis strains in Ethiopia.

Abstract The Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) includes several human- and animal-adapted pathogens. It is thought to have originated in East Africa from a recombinogenic Mycobacterium canettii-like ancestral pool. Here, we describe the discovery of a clinical tuberculosis strain isolated in Ethiopia that shares archetypal phenotypic and genomic features of M. canettii strains, but represents a phylogenetic branch much closer to the MTBC clade than to the M. canettii strains.
