Frequently arising ESX-1-associated phase variants influence Mycobacterium tuberculosis fitness in the presence of host and antibiotic pressures
ABSTRACT Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) exhibits an impressive ability to adapt to rapidly changing environments, despite its genome’s apparent stability. Recently, phase variation through indel formation in homopolymeric tracts (HT) has emerged as a potentially important mechanism promoting adapt...
