Abstract
A single-nucleotide polymorphism-based cluster grouping (SCG) classification system for Mycobacterium tuberculosis was used to examine antibiotic resistance type and resistance mutations in relationship to specific evolutionary lineages. Drug resistance and resistance mutations were seen across all SCGs. SCG-2 had higher proportions of katG codon 315 mutations and resistance to four drugs.Keywords
