Genomic Signatures of the Haarlem Lineage of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: Implications of Strain Genetic Variation in Drug and Vaccine Development

Explore this paper's citation graph

Summary

Strain variability such as that described here underscores the need for the definition of a core set of essential genes in M. tuberculosis that are ubiquitously present in all circulating lineages, as a requirement in the development of effective antituberculosis drugs and vaccines.
