Implication

Retrospective study reveals 97% Mycobacterium tuberculosis predominance and 5.1% multidrug resistance in clinical isolates, highlighting molecular testing for regional tuberculosis control.

Key Points

Mycobacterium tuberculosis predominated in 97% of isolates, while multidrug resistance reached 5.1% across pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis cases.
Retrospective study of hospital isolates used dual-tube multiplex real-time PCR for species identification alongside GenoType MTBDRplus testing over five years.
Surveillance of circulating Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex strains strengthens regional disease control programs and guides targeted antimicrobial treatment.
