Pangenome and genomic signatures linked to the dominance of the lineage-4 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated from extrapulmonary tuberculosis patients in western Ethiopia

20241 citationOpen accessAddis Ababa University

Abstract

Apart from host and environmental factors, the sublineage of L4 employs distinct virulence factors for successful dissemination in western Ethiopia. Given that the functions of these newly identified genes are not well understood, it is advisable to experimentally validate their roles, particularly in the successful transmission of specific L4 sublineages over others.
