A New Phylogenetic Framework for the Animal-adapted <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> Complex

2018-08-03

Abstract excerpt

Tuberculosis (TB) affects humans and other animals and is caused by bacteria from the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). Previous studies have shown that there are at least nine members of the MTBC infecting animals other than humans; these have also been referred to as ecotypes. However, the ecology and the evolution of these animal-adapted MTBC ecotypes are poorly understood. Here we screened 12,886 pub...
