Genomic changes underpinning the emergence of a successful Mycobacterium tuberculosis Latin American and Mediterranean clonal complex

IntroductionThe Latin American and Mediterranean sublineage (L4.3/LAM) is the most common generalist sublineage of Mycobacterium tuberculosis lineage 4 (L4), yet certain L4.3/LAM genotypes appear to be confined to particular geographic regions. This is typically the case of a L4.3/LAM clonal complex...
