Clade-Specific Virulence Patterns of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Mycobacterium tuberculosis</named-content> Complex Strains in Human Primary Macrophages and Aerogenically Infected Mice
ABSTRACT In infection experiments with genetically distinct Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) strains, we identified clade-specific virulence patterns in human primary macrophages and in mice infected by the aerosol route, both reflecting relevant model systems. Exclusively human-adapted M....
