Evidence for recombination in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Dec 2006

Liu Xiaoming, Gutacker Michaela M, Musser James M, Fu Yun-Xin

Abstract excerpt

Due to its mostly isolated living environment, Mycobacterium tuberculosis is generally believed to be highly clonal, and thus recombination between different strains must be rare and is not critical for the survival of the species. To investigate the roles recombination could have possibly played in the evolution of M. tuberculosis, an analysis was conducted on previously determined genotypes of 36 synonymous...
