Insights from the Genome Sequence of <italic toggle="yes">Mycobacterium lepraemurium</italic>: Massive Gene Decay and Reductive Evolution
ABSTRACT Mycobacterium lepraemurium is the causative agent of murine leprosy, a chronic, granulomatous disease similar to human leprosy. Due to the similar clinical manifestations of human and murine leprosy and the difficulty of growing both bacilli axenically, Mycobacterium leprae and M. lepraemur...
