Mycobacterium tuberculosis produces pili during human infection.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 20 Mar 2007

Alteri Christopher J, Xicohténcatl-Cortes Juan, Hess Sonja, Caballero-Olín Guillermo, Girón Jorge A, Friedman Richard L

Abstract excerpt

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is responsible for nearly 3 million human deaths worldwide every year. Understanding the mechanisms and bacterial factors responsible for the ability of M. tuberculosis to cause disease in humans is critical for the development of improved treatment strategies. Many bac...
