Abstract In West Africa, Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains co-circulate with M. africanum, and both pathogens cause pulmonary in humans. Given recent findings that T-cell epitopes are hyperconserved, we hypothesized more immunogenic have increased capacity to spread within the human host population. We investigated relationship between composition of mycobacterial population The Gambia, as measured by spoligotype analysis, immunogenicity these purified protein derivative–induced...
