a

Includes all isolates successfully sequenced as per Table 2.

b

Novel mutations present by WGS are in bold type; bold type and underlining indicate that the mutation also conferred resistance phenotypically.

c

Discordant isolates (resistant by LJ and mutations present by WGS, but susceptible by LPA).
