Identification of a predominant genotype of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Brazilian indigenous population

Abstract After nearly a century of vaccination and six decades of drug therapy, tuberculosis (TB) kills more people annually than any other infectious disease. Substantial challenges to disease eradication remain among vulnerable and underserved populations. The Guarani-Kaiowá people are an indigeno...
