A marine sponge-associated mycobacterium closely related to <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>

2024-01-23

Abstract excerpt

Reconstructing the evolutionary origins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis , the causative agent of human tuberculosis, has helped identify bacterial factors that have led to the tubercle bacillus becoming such a formidable human pathogen. Here we report the discovery and detailed characterization of an exceedingly slow growing mycobacterium that is closely related to M. tuberculosis for which we have proposed the sp...
