Ongoing evolution of the <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> lactate dehydrogenase reveals the pleiotropic effects of bacterial adaption to host pressure
2023-10-09
Abstract excerpt
The bacterial determinants that facilitate Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) adaptation to the human host environment are poorly characterized. We have sought to decipher the pressures facing the bacterium in vivo by assessing Mtb genes that are under positive selection in clinical isolates. One of the strongest targets of selection in the Mtb genome is lldD2 , which encodes a quinone-dependent L-lactate dehydro...
