Genomic and Phenotypic Variations Among Thai-53 and <i>Mycobacterium leprae</i> Clinical Isolates: Implications for Leprosy Pathogenesis and Research

Genomic and Phenotypic Variations Among Thai-53 and <i>Mycobacterium leprae</i> Clinical Isolates: Implications for Leprosy Pathogenesis and Research

Throughout <i>Mycobacterium leprae’s</i> (<i>M. leprae</i>) evolutionary trajectory, nearly half of its genome was converted into pseudogenes. Despite this drastic reduction in genetic content, the genome sequence identity among <i>M. leprae</i> isolates worldwide...
