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"...
