The value of the continuous genotyping of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis over 20 years in Spain

Abstract Molecular epidemiology of circulating clinical isolates is crucial to improve prevention strategies. The Spanish Working Group on multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a network that monitors the MDR-TB isolates in Spain since 1998. The aim of this study was to present the study of t...
