Mutation on lysX from Mycobacterium avium hominissuis impacts the host–pathogen interaction and virulence phenotype

The lysX gene from Mycobacterium avium hominissuis (MAH) is not only involved in cationic antimicrobial resistance but also regulates metabolic activity. An MAH lysX deficient mutant was shown to exhibit a metabolic shift at the extracellular state preadapting the bacteria to the conditions inside h...
