Mycobacterium Disease, Todd Gray, Ph.D.

Dr. Gray's lab has developed a non-pathogenic Mycobacterium smegmatis and described a novel form of conjugal DNA transfer between strains of M. smegmatis that relies on the activity of the same secretory apparatus (ESX-1) which is required for pathogenicity in M. tuberculosis.
