Molecular analysis of genetic differences between Mycobacterium bovis BCG and virulent M. bovis [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1996 The live attenuated bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine for the prevention of disease associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis was derived from the closely related virulent tubercle bacillus, Mycobacterium bovis. Although the BCG vaccine has been one of the most widely used vaccines in the world for over 40 years, the genetic basis of BCG's ...

Efficacy and immunogenicity of Mycobacterium bovis ΔRD1 against aerosol M. bovis infection in neonatal calves [PDF]
Vaccine, 2009 An attenuated Mycobacterium bovisRD1 deletion (DeltaRD1) mutant of the Ravenel strain was constructed, characterized, and sequenced. This M. bovis DeltaRD1 vaccine strain administered to calves at 2 weeks of age provided similar efficacy as M. bovis bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) against low dose, aerosol challenge with virulent M.
