About the resource

The TB Portals (NIAID) host a curated patient-level dataset of clinical, imaging, microbiological and Mycobacterium tuberculosis whole-genome data across cases from high-burden countries — particularly focused on multi-drug-resistant TB. The WHO Global TB Programme publishes annual country-level estimates of incidence, prevalence, mortality, treatment outcomes and drug-resistance through the Global TB Report.

Together they form the dominant resources for TB epidemiology and genomics, complemented by ReSeqTB and the Genome-to-Drug-Resistance Mycobacteria curation efforts.
