Using Genomics to Understand the Origin and Dispersion of Multidrug and Extensively Drug Resistant Tuberculosis in Portugal

Portugal is a low incidence country for tuberculosis (TB) disease. Now figuring among TB low incidence countries, it has since the 1990s reported multidrug resistant and extensively drug resistant (XDR) TB cases, driven predominantly by two strain-types: Lisboa3 and Q1.
