TL;DR: The complete genome sequence of the best-characterized strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, H37Rv, has been determined and analysed in order to improve the understanding of the biology of this slow-growing pathogen and to help the conception of new prophylactic and therapeutic interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new evolutionary scenario for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex
Roland Brosch,Stephen V. Gordon,M. Marmiesse,Priscille Brodin,Carmen Buchrieser,Karin Eiglmeier,Thierry Garnier,C. Gutierrez,Glyn Hewinson,Kristin Kremer,Linda M. Parsons,Alexander S. Pym,Sofía Samper,D. van Soolingen,Stewart T. Cole +14 more
TL;DR: The distribution of 20 variable regions resulting from insertion-deletion events in the genomes of the tubercle bacilli has been evaluated and contradict the often-presented hypothesis that M. tuberculosis, the etiological agent of human tuberculosis evolved from M. bovis, the agent of bovine disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
The complete genome sequence of Mycobacterium bovis
Thierry Garnier,Karin Eiglmeier,Jean-Christophe Camus,Nadine Medina,Huma Mansoor,Melinda J. Pryor,Stephanie Duthoy,Sophie Grondin,Céline Lacroix,Christel Monsempe,Sylvie Simon,Barbara Harris,Rebecca Atkin,Jon Doggett,Rebecca Mayes,Lisa Keating,Paul R. Wheeler,Julian Parkhill,Bart Barrell,Stewart T. Cole,Stephen V. Gordon,R. Glyn Hewinson +21 more
TL;DR: The genome sequence offers major insight on the evolution, host preference, and pathobiology of M. bovis, implying that differential gene expression may be the key to the host tropisms of human and bovine bacilli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of variable regions in the genomes of tubercle bacilli using bacterial artificial chromosome arrays.
Stephen V. Gordon,Roland Brosch,Alain Billault,Thierry Garnier,Karin Eiglmeier,Stewart T. Cole +5 more
TL;DR: Comparisons of the BAC libraries of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the vaccine strain and the complete genome sequence of M. bovis BCG uncovered a third class of deletions consisting of two M. tuberculosis H37Rv loci, RvD1 and RVD2, deleted from the genome relative to M.bovis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome plasticity of BCG and impact on vaccine efficacy.
Roland Brosch,Stephen V. Gordon,Thierry Garnier,Karin Eiglmeier,Wafa Frigui,Philippe Valenti,Sandrine Dos Santos,Stephanie Duthoy,Céline Lacroix,Carmen Garcia-Pelayo,Jacqueline Inwald,Paul Golby,Javier Nunez Garcia,R. Glyn Hewinson,Marcel A. Behr,Michael A. Quail,Carol Churcher,Bart Barrell,Julian Parkhill,Stewart T. Cole +19 more
TL;DR: The combined findings suggest that early BCG vaccines may even be superior to the later ones that are more widely used, and that further amplification of the DU2 region is ongoing, even within vaccine preparations used to immunize humans.
