Genomic DNA from M. tuberculosis isolates was extracted as per standard protocol [11 (link)]. Libraries were constructed using the Nextera XT DNA preparation kit (Illumina, San Diego, California) and genome sequencing was performed on NextSeq500 (Illumina) with 2 × 150-bp paired-end chemistry. Sequencing reads were mapped to the reference genome M. tuberculosis H37Rv (GenBank NC_000962) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variants identified using CLC Genomics Workbench version 10.0.1 (Qiagen, Denmark). Reads were processed through the RedDog pipeline (https://github.com/katholt/RedDog) and Snippy v3.1 and screened for mutations associated with drug resistance.
