Population genomics provides insights into the evolution and adaptation to humans of the waterborne pathogen Mycobacterium kansasii

Mycobacterium kansasii can cause serious pulmonary disease. Here, the authors present a population genomics analysis of 358 environmental and clinical isolates from around the world, supporting the idea that municipal water is a main source of infection, and shedding light into the pathogen’s divers...

Here, the authors present a population genomics analysis of 358 environmental and clinical isolates from around the world, supporting the idea that municipal water is a main source of infection, and shedding light into the pathogen’s diversity and adaptation to the human host.
