Tuberculosis vaccine strain Mycobacterium bovis BCG Russia is a natural recA mutant.

BMC microbiology - 17 Jul 2008

Keller Peter M, Böttger Erik C, Sander Peter

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The current tuberculosis vaccine is a live vaccine derived from Mycobacterium bovis and attenuated by serial in vitro passaging. All vaccine substrains in use stem from one source, strain Bacille Calmette-Guérin. However, they differ in regions of genomic deletions, antigen expression...
