"Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Complex Molecular Epidemiology Study" ed. by Yogendra Shah

This volume explores such topics as mechanisms associated with increasing trends of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB), the development of anti-mycobacterial drugs, genotyping tools, diagnosis and treatment of latent tuberculosis infection, and more.
