Abstract
Genetic systems that allow mycobacterial genomes to be mutagenized in a targeted or random fashion have provided the means for developing new tools for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of tuberculosis by allowing potential targets to be identified and validated. In this review, we highlight key historical developments in the field of mycobacterial genetics, which have yielded the powerful repertoire of genetic tools that are now in hand and provide examples that illustrate their use in exploring specific aspects of mycobacterial metabolism.Entities:
