Metagenomics study of an Imported Multidrug-Resistant Mycobacterium leprae, Saudi Arabia, 2017
Using shotgun metagenomics, we identified an imported case of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium leprae in a Filipino resident of Saudi Arabia in 2017. We determined the phylogenomic lineage (3K1) and identified mutations in rpoB and rrs corresponding to the multidrug-resistance phenotype clinically observed. Metagenomics sequencing can be used to identify multidrug-resistant M. leprae.
The accession and its GCC connection are verified. Registration alone does not establish that the broader research programme remains active.
