Observational analysis revealed distinct lineage distribution and drug resistance in tuberculosis, highlighting effective control strategies in Southern Xinjiang.
Currently, Mycobacterium tuberculosis is classified into 9 major lineages, each exhibiting distinct geographical distribution patterns and transmission characteristics. In China, Lineage 2 predominates, while Lineage 3 is primarily distributed in the Xinjiang region. This study integrated multidimensional analyses incorporating patient characteristics, strain lineages, drug resistance profiles, and transmission networks, providing a comprehensive elucidation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis molecular epidemiology. Molecular epidemiological insights into Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission in Southern Xinjiang enable precision tuberculosis control.
