Generalist and specialist species differ in the breadth of their ecological niches. Little is known
about the niche width of obligate human pathogens. Here we analyzed a global collection …

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has rapidly progressed
from a research tool to a clinical application for the diagnosis and management of tuberculosis …

The causative agent of human tuberculosis ( TB ), M ycobacterium tuberculosis, is an obligate
