Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In developing countries, tuberculosis (TB) infection control remains a challenge. The bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine is the only effective vaccine available for TB control. Iran uses a local BCG vaccine strain with an unknown substrain. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the molecular characteristics of the current BCG strain being used in Iran using comparative genomics of the evolutionarily late...
