Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Studies have been reported on genomic analysis to explain virulence of MTB H37Rv vs. MTB H37Ra strain. Proteomic comparison analysis at our centre has shown variability of 244 proteins in MTB H37Rv. A single amino acid mutation in protein sequence may cause alteration in protein structure and function that may account for virulence and drug resistance properties of pathogenic organisms. AIM: To find...
