Next-generation sequencing of drug resistant <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> clinical isolates in low-incidence countries

Drug resistant tuberculosis (TB), especially multidrug (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) TB, is still a serious problem in global TB control. Slovenia and North Macedonia are low-incidence countries with TB incidence rates of 5.4 and 10.4 in 2017, respectively. In both countries, the percen...
