<i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> complex lineage 5 exhibits high levels of within-lineage genomic diversity and differing gene content compared to the type strain H37Rv
2020-06-22
Abstract excerpt
Pathogens of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) are considered monomorphic, with little gene content variation between strains. Nevertheless, several genotypic and phenotypic factors separate the different MTBC lineages (L), especially L5 and L6 (traditionally termed Mycobacterium africanum ), from each other. However, genome variability and gene content especially of L5 and L6 strains have not been f...
