Mutations in Putative Mutator Genes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Strains of the W-Beijing Family

Mutations in Putative Mutator Genes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Strains of the W-Beijing Family

Alterations in genes involved in the repair of DNA mutations (mut genes) result in an increased mutation frequency and better adaptability of the bacterium to stressful conditions. W-Beijing genotype strains displayed unique missense alterations in three putative mut genes, including two of the mutT...
