Use of genomics for tuberculosis research, surveillance and diagnosis in Zambia

This presentation by Dr Kabengele Keith Siame of the Tropical Disease Research Centre in Ndola, Zambia looks at the current diagnosis tools for tuberculosis in Zambia and why they are inadequate for tracking drug resistance and transmission patterns. Dr Siame discusses how sequencing, especially whole genome sequencing, can be used to fill these information gaps and improve diagnostics and surveillance of tuberculosis.
