An updated evolutionary history and taxonomy of <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> lineage 5, also called <i>M. africanum</i>

2022-11-21

Abstract excerpt

Contrarily to other lineages such as L2 and L4, there are still scarce whole-genome-sequence data on L5-L6 MTBC clinical isolates in public genomes repositories. Recent results suggest a high complexity of L5 history in Africa. It is of importance for an adequate assessment of TB infection in Africa, that is still related to the presence of L5-L6 MTBC strains. This study reports a significant improvement of our kn...
