The <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> complex pangenome is small and shaped by sub-lineage-specific regions of difference
2024-03-14
Abstract excerpt
The Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) is a group of bacteria causing tuberculosis (TB) in humans and animals. Understanding MTBC genetic diversity is crucial for insights into its adaptation and traits related to survival, virulence, and antibiotic resistance. While it is known that within-MTBC diversity is characterised by large deletions found only in certain lineages (regions of difference [RDs]), a co...
