Diagnostic Potential of a PPE Protein Derived from Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing/K Strain.

CONCLUSION: Our data indicate that immune signatures to the M. tb Beijing/K-specific antigen can provide useful information for improved TB diagnostics. The antigen may be developed as a diagnostic marker or a vaccine candidate, particularly in regions where the M. tb Beijing/K strain is endemic. PMID: 32882763 [PubMed - in process]
