Microbiota alterations caused by M. tuberculosis Rv1987 in mouse lung
M. tuberculosis virulent factor, Rv1987 protein, can mediate host immune response and enhance mycobacterial survival in host lung. In this project, the lung microbiota alterations infected by M. smegmatis overexpressing Rv1987 protein (MS1987) were detected and analyzed by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing.
