TbD1 deletion as a driver of the evolutionary success of modern epidemic Mycobacterium tuberculosis lineages
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) modern strains emerged from a common progenitor after the loss of Mtb-specific deletion 1 region (TbD1). Here, the authors show that deletion of TbD1 correlates with enhanced Mtb virulence in animal models, mirroring the development of hypoxic granulomas in human dis...
