Abstract
A Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain disrupted in the AraC homologue Rv1931c was isolated. The mutant strain exhibited reduced survival both in macrophages and in a mouse infection model, with survival being restored on complementation with the Rv1931c gene. These results suggest that Rv1931c regulates genes important for virulence of M. tuberculosis.Entities:
