Rv0180c contributes to Mycobacterium tuberculosis cell shape and to infectivity in mice and macrophages.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the main causative agent of human tuberculosis, is transmitted from person to person via small droplets containing very few bacteria. Optimizing the chance to seed in the lungs is therefore a major adaptation to favor survival and dissemination in the human population. He...
