Htin Lin Aung,Thanda Tun,Elizabeth Permina,Wint Wint Nyunt,Si Thu Aung,Kyi Kyi Thinn,John A. Crump,Gregory M. Cook +7 more
TL;DR: The genome sequences of two MDR-TB isolates from Myanmar are presented, and a number of mutations consistent with these being extensively drug-resistant TB isolates are described.
