Ethics approval and consent to participate
: This study was approved by the Higher Degrees Research and Ethics Committee of the School of Biomedical Sciences, Makerere University College of Health Sciences. This committee permitted the use of archived <i>M. tuberculosis</i> isolates from patients who participated in the Drug Resistance Surveys that investigated the phenotypic levels and patterns of resistance to first- and second-line anti-TB drugs among new and previously treated sputum smear-positive pulmonary TB patients in Uganda, Somalia and eSwatini. The national/sub-national drug resistance surveys obtained written informed consent (or assent, where applicable) from all the participants for sample storage and use of stored samples in further studies.
