Mycobacterium riyadhense_Whole Genome Sequencing
Mycobacterium riyadhense is an emerging non tuberculous mycobacterial pathogen responsible to cause both pulmonary and extrapulmonary diseases in any age group. Globally few dozens of cases only reported and the pathogen is geographically confined to Saudi Arabia. Although, several genetic and clinical resemblance exist between Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium riyadhense, the real threat of this pathogen is till date underestimated. This project focus to explore the evolutionary changes, genetic relatedness and possible transmission dynamics of this pathogen following clinical cases.
The accession and its GCC connection are verified. Registration alone does not establish that the broader research programme remains active.
