Insertion and deletion evolution reflects antibiotics selection pressure in a Mycobacterium tuberculosis outbreak
30 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
In genome evolution, genetic variants are the source of diversity, which natural selection acts upon.Treatment of human tuberculosis (TB) induces a strong selection pressure for the emergence of antibiotic resistance-conferring variants in the infecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) strains.MTB evolution in response to treatment has been intensively studied and mainly attributed to point substitutions.However,...
