WGS=whole-genome sequencing.
Including two M tuberculosis isolates negative for RD12 on PCR but confirmed by WGS (both extrapulmonary); eight inconclusive isolates on PCR identified as M tuberculosis by WGS (six pulmonary, two extrapulmonary); and one pulmonary isolate identified as M bovis BCG by PCR and M tuberculosis by WGS.
All detected by PCR and confirmed by WGS.
