Genomic reduction at TTC repeats in the bacterial genome of treated cases of Hansen's disease: A possible survival mechanism of Mycobacterium leprae
Introduction: Mycobacterium leprae has a small genome and a tendency of persisting as a very low-grade infection. The authors have shown earlier, that the changes in TTC repeats, in M. leprae genome may contribute to the restriction of the pathogenicity of the bacterium and its survival strategy in...
