1

Adjusted by logistic regression modeling for year of inclusion, age, sex, commune of residence and history of tuberculosis treatment.

2

P values based on Wald test for comparison of stratum to reference category. Denotes the level of significance for the difference between East-African-Indian and Beijing genotypes in the association of clustering and drug resistance.
