Mycobacterium tuberculosis Pst/SenX3-RegX3 Regulates Membrane Vesicle Production Independently of ESX-5 Activity

Mycobacterium tuberculosis releases membrane vesicles (MV) that modulate host immune responses and aid in iron acquisition, although they may have additional unappreciated functions. MV production appears to be a regulated process, but virR remains the only characterized genetic regulator of vesicul...
