Abstract: Background: We conducted a bibliographic analysis of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) in sub-Saharan Africa, which included the analysis of 8,139 genomic sequences from 34 of the 49 sub-Saharan African countries. Notably, only one complete sequence from Senegal was identified, which had been generated in the United States. Our primary objective was to utilize whole genome sequencing (WGS) to detect resistance in anti-tuberculous strains of the MTBC in Senegal. This …
