Abstract excerpt
The global spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is facilitated by airborne transmission, a low infectious dose, and the pathogen's ability to persist in a latent state. Despite sharing over 99% genomic identity, MTB strains and lineages show significant variability in transmissibility. We hypothesized that natural polymorphisms in the two-component regulatory system (TCS) PhoP-PhoR (PhoPR), a major...
