Abstract
A case of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is presented. It highlights the role of whole-genome sequencing, expanded phenotypic drug susceptibility testing, and enhanced case management, offering a more complete understanding of drug susceptibility to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This approach guides an effective individualized treatment strategy that results in rapid sustained culture conversion.Entities:
