Strain Variation in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex: Its Role in Biology, Epidemiology and Control
Until about 10 years ago, the general view in the field was that Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of human tuberculosis was a “clone” with insufficient natural sequence variation between clinical strains to be considered biologically and epidemiologically “relevant”. This view has now...
