Modeling Diversity: Do Homogeneous Laboratory Strains Limit Discovery?

Abstract excerpt

The outcome of chronic infections is highly variable. The heterogeneous disease outcomes in natural populations differ from genetically homogeneous infection models. Here, we use tuberculosis as a 'case study' to contrast the genetic landscape in natural populations with standard infection models, discussing new strategies to bridge this gap.
