One of the important determinants of virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is adaptation
to adverse conditions encountered in the host cells. The ability of Mycobacterium to …

Regulating responses to stress is critical for all bacteria, whether they are environmental,
commensal, or pathogenic species. For pathogenic bacteria, successful colonization and …

The ability of a bacterial cell to monitor and adaptively respond to its environment is crucial
for survival. After one‐and two‐component systems, extracytoplasmic function (ECF) σ …

The ability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to infect, proliferate, and survive during long
periods in the human lungs largely depends on the rigorous control of gene expression …

Although the post-mortem diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis is mainly achieved through
microbiological culture, the development of other techniques to detect Mycobacterium …

Background Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosi s, a Gram-positive, facultative intracellular
pathogen, is the etiologic agent of the disease known as caseous lymphadenitis (CL). CL …

Accessory sigma factors, which reprogram RNA polymerase to transcribe specific gene sets,
activate bacterial adaptive responses to noxious environments. Here we reconstruct the …

Members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) are the causative agents of
tuberculosis in a range of mammals, including humans. A key feature of MTBC pathogens is …

Rapid adaptation to changing environments is one of the keys of the success of
microorganisms. Such adaptation is achieved by enabling different strategies, the most …

Mycobacterium bovis BCG strains are live, attenuated vaccines generated through decades
of in vitro passage. Because in vitro growth does not select for interaction with the host, it has …
