Abstract excerpt
Bacterial phospholipase C has been reported to play a role in the pathogenesis of many bacteria. In order to gain a better understanding of the potential role of Mycobacterium tuberculosis phospholipase C in the pathogenesis of human tuberculosis, we investigated the genetic diversity of the four M. tuberculosis phospholipase C-encoding genes (plcA, plcB, plcC, and plcD) resulting from the IS6110 insertion and...
