Strain-specific genomic diversity in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) is an
important factor in pathogenesis that may affect virulence, transmissibility, host response …

Recently, the diversity of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) population
structure has been described in detail. Based on geographical separation and specific host …

There is increasing evidence that strain variation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex
(MTBC) might influence the outcome of tuberculosis infection and disease. To assess …

Genotyping of clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) strains has become a
standard tool for epidemiological tracing and for the investigation of the local and global …

Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the second major cause of
death from an infectious disease worldwide. Recent advances in DNA sequencing are …

The outcome of tuberculosis infection and disease is highly variable. This variation has been
attributed primarily to host and environmental factors, but better understanding of the global …

Abstract The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex (MTBC) consists of a clonal group of
several mycobacterial lineages pathogenic to a range of different mammalian hosts. In this …

Background Tuberculosis, caused by bacteria in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex
(MTBC), is a major global public health burden. Strain-specific genomic diversity in the …
