Her acid-fast bacilli (AFB) culture was positive for MTB (S1-S3), which was later found to have an extensively drug-resistant profile through culture-based drug susceptibility test (DST) [Table 1 and Figure 1].
The results of in silico genotyping. (a) In silico detection of IS6110 insertion site on five isolates (blue = forward; red = reverse). (b) In silico spoligotyping. (c) In silico 43 loci mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units-variable number of tandem repeats

To investigate epidemiological links between the isolates, in silico genotyping was performed using the total genotyping solution for TB (TGS-TB) website, which showed that all five isolates had identical genotype patterns [Figure 2].
