| whole genome sequence analysis of mycobacterium suricattae. | tuberculosis occurs in various mammalian hosts and is caused by a range of different lineages of the mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (mtbc). a recently described member, mycobacterium suricattae, causes tuberculosis in meerkats (suricata suricatta) in southern africa and preliminary genetic analysis showed this organism to be closely related to an mtbc pathogen of rock hyraxes (procavia capensis), the dassie bacillus. here we make use of whole genome sequencing to describe the evolution of th ... | 2015 | 26542221 |
