Study reveals new lineage of tuberculosis-causing bacteria in the eastern part of the continent
Mireia Coscollá, a researcher at the Institute for Integrative Systems Biology (I2SysBio), a joint centre of the University of Valencia and the Spanish National Research Council, has led a study on the bacterium that causes tuberculosis, one of the 10 deadliest diseases in the world, which proves the existence of a new lineage. After analysing 675 African genomes in an article published in the journal Microbial Genomics, he concludes that the new lineage, named L9, is located mainly in the eastern part of the continent.
The goal of this research was to expand the information on the genetics, phylogeography and evolutionary history of M. africanum, one of the groups into which the bacteria of the species Mycobacterium tuberculosis are divided. This bacterium was the cause of more deaths than any other infectious disease until SARS-CoV-2 appeared and is among the top ten causes of death w
