Tuberculosis: evolution in millennia and minutes.

Biochemical Society transactions - 1 Nov 2007

Gillespie S H

Abstract excerpt

Tuberculosis remains a global public health threat: the causative organism, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, was once thought to show little genetic variation, but research in the last 10 years has demonstrated an ability to change in a series of different time frames. Related species of mycobacteria have undergone evolution by deletion of segments of DNA, allowing Mycobacterium bovis and other species to emerge from...
