Association between fatty acid metabolism gene mutations and Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission revealed by whole genome sequencing

Abstract Background Fatty acid metabolism greatly promotes the virulence and pathogenicity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb). However, the regulatory mechanism of fatty acid metabolism in M.tb remains to be elucidated, and limited evidence about the effects of gene mutations in fatty acid metabol...
