    Drug-Susceptible and Multidrug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a Single Patient
    Baffoe-Bonnie, Anthony W.; Houpt, Eric R.; Turner, Lauren; Dodge, Denise; Heysell, Scott K. (2019-11)
    A patient who had initial infection with mixed strains of drug-susceptible and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis was presumed to have acquired drug resistance before confirmation that sequential strains were genotypically distinct. Transmitted infection with mixed strains is likely underappreciated; identifying these infections requires spoligotyping and whole-genome sequencing.
