The pathogens of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), which cause tuberculosis (TB) in humans and animals, have different virulence and host tropism profiles, but highly similar genomes that are incapable of horizontally transferring genes. My laboratory has sought to understand how the small genotypic variations of these genomes result in different MTBC phenotypes. Recently, we…
SARS-CoV-2, or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2, is an emerging zoonosis identified in China in late 2019 responsible for causing atypical pneumonia. In just two months, the virus reached all continents, except Antarctica, being detected in individuals present in 187 countries/regions. The pandemic has had catastrophic effects on the population, health systems, social and e…
Tuberculosis (TB), the second leading human mortality cause by an infectious agent in the world, is caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), a zoonotic group of 12 genetically similar bacterial species from which the main human pathogens are: M. tuberculosis (the main causative agent of the disease), M. africanum 1 e 2, M. canettii, M. bovis e M. caprae. With the exception…
Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease with a wide global prevalence, with approximately 10.6 million new cases and 1.13 million deaths in 2022. The disease is caused by bacteria from the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), presenting variations among strains adapted to humans and animals. Among those adapted to humans, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the main agent of human TB, while …
Tuberculosis is a serious infectious disease that has a long treatment period and variable response. One cause of difficult treatment is the ability of mycobacteria to vary phenotypically, enabling them to tolerate drug exposure or select treatment-persistent subpopulations. The mechanisms that lead to this phenotypic variation have not been fully elucidated. It is believed that changes i…

Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC), a bacterial group that comprises twelve pathogen species that infect human beings and/or animals. The most frequent causative species of the disease are M. tuberculosis and M. bovis. Members of this complex evolved clonally from M. tuberculosis and have high genomic identity, differing only by single n…
Tuberculosis (TB) is an important disease of humans and animals caused by members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex (MTBC). Members of this Complex have clonally evolved from a Mycobacterium tuberculosis ancestor and are characterized by high genomic similarity (>99% over alignable regions). Despite this relatedness, species of MTBC express different phenotypic profiles, as well a…
