A seventeenth-century <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> genome supports a Neolithic emergence of the <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> complex

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Although tuberculosis accounts for the highest mortality from a bacterial infection on a global scale, questions persist regarding its origin. One hypothesis based on modern Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) genomes suggests their most recent common ancestor (MRCA) followed human migrations out of Africa ~70,000 years before present (BP). However, studies using anci...
