Screening Mycobacterium tuberculosis secreted proteins identifies Mpt64 as eukaryotic membrane-binding virulence factor
2018-08-28
Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis, is one of the most successful human pathogens. One reason for its success is that Mtb can reside within host macrophages, a cell type that normally functions to phagocytose and destroy infectious bacteria.
