Review of: "Whole-genome single nucleotide variant phylogenetic analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Lineage 1 in endemic regions of Asia and Africa"

Potential competing interests: The author(s) declared that no potential competing interests exist.In this article Netikul et al. made a review and reorganized the sublineages present in Lineage 1 (L1) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), using 1764 genomes, mostly from public repositories.The large number of isolates included in this study confers an important value to the results generated.Undoubtedly, the results of the study are of great value in the area, because they address the L1, little characterized, but widely dispersed in regions such as India, Oceania, Asia and Africa.In addition to the phylogeographic
