Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: To survive a dynamic host environment, Mycobacterium tuberculosis must endure a series of challenges, from reactive oxygen and nitrogen stress to drastic shifts in oxygen availability.

To examine the role of Lsr2 in pathogenesis and physiology of M. tuberculosis, we generated a strain deleted...
