Abstract
Establishing persistent infection and resisting elimination by the host's immune system are key factors contributing to latent infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Recently, bacterial determinants regulating these processes have been identified. Here, we review molecular mechanisms regulating persistent infection and discuss the highly dynamic interaction of M. tuberculosis with the host.Entities:
