Identification of Cyclic AMP-Regulated Genes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Bacteria under Low-Oxygen Conditions
1 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the etiological agent of tuberculosis (TB), which kills approximately 2 million people a year despite current treatment options. A greater understanding of the biology of this bacterium is needed to better combat TB disease. The M. tuberculosis genome encodes as many as 15 adenylate cyclases, suggesting that cyclic AMP (cAMP) has an important, yet overlooked, role in mycobacteria....
