Massive gene acquisitions in Mycobacterium indicus pranii provide a perspective on mycobacterial evolution
8 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
Understanding the evolutionary and genomic mechanisms responsible for turning the soil-derived saprophytic mycobacteria into lethal intracellular pathogens is a critical step towards the development of strategies for the control of mycobacterial diseases. In this context, Mycobacterium indicus pranii (MIP) is of specific interest because of its unique immunological and evolutionary significance. Evolutionarily,...
