Abstract

The wider availability of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) coupled to new developments in bioinformatic tools and databases to interpret Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex WGS data has accelerated the adoption of this method for the routine prediction of antimycobacterial drug resistance and genotyping, thus necessitating the establishment of a comprehensive external quality control system. Here, we report 4 years of development and results from such a panel.
